Premlata Agrawal has a plethora of records to her name. Her illustrious list of laurels had earned her a Padma Shri in 2013. She is the first Indian woman to conquer all the seven highest peaks across the globe and was just a housewife until the spirit of adventure overtook her. A mother of two, one of whom is married, she was also the oldest Indian woman mountaineer to scale Mount Everest at the age of 48.
