In this special episode of Golden Metro Show, Shubrato Mitra sits down with Divya Bajpai, Former Fighter Controller, Indian Air Force — one of the rare officers who has seen the live air picture of the Balakot Strike, served in OP Snow Leopard at high-altitude bases, and later transitioned into mentoring India’s top women athletes, including WPL and U19 World Cup champions.

This conversation blends three worlds:
• The discipline of Air Force training
• The pressure & intensity of real combat operations
• The mindset required to create world-class athletes

Divya Ma’am shares what actually happens inside a Fighter Control Room handling 60+ aircraft, how India’s air defence systems respond to threats, why high-altitude warfare is brutally difficult, and what China’s repeated airspace provocations really mean. She also reveals the emotional journey behind her transition from the Air Force to guiding champions like Sneh Rana, Meghna Singh, Vaishnavi Sharma and more.

From discipline, resilience and leadership to the rise of Indian women’s cricket — this episode is inspiring, eye-opening and deeply human.

Hosted by Shubrato Mitra, India’s youngest podcaster.
