Hello, I’m Babli and I am excited to be your driver today. I’ve been a resident of Delhi for over two decades, though originally, I am from Bihar. I live with my brothers. I support the education of my younger brother and medical expenses for my older brother. I am also very proud in having taken charge of arranging marriages for my two younger sisters. My parents, who were in Delhi until a few years ago, now live in our native village in Bihar. My journey as a driver began in 2015. Apart from driving, I am also a Team Leader in Sakha, proudly leading a team of 10 skilled women drivers. Defying social norms was not easy, it required determination and resilience, which I have in plenty. Driving to places outside Delhi, like Panipat, Jaipur etc. has enriched my understanding of life. Today, I am not deterred by day or night. I embrace every road, known or unknown. My performance earned me the opportunity to travel to Hungary with my company. Experiencing a different culture and learning to drive a trailer was very exciting and memorable for me. I have inspired another approximately 20 women from my community to take up driving. Behind the wheels, I feel an incredible sense of freedom. This profession has earned me respect in my parents’ eyes. They see me as someone who is capable of taking care of the whole family and a role model for other women. I’m not just driving a vehicle; I’m steering my life, paving a path for women to chase their own dreams and achieve independence.
