Commenting on this association, Jayanti Khan Chauhan, Vice Chairperson, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are incredibly proud to support Kaamya on her historic journey to conquer the Seven Summits. With her final summit of Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica, Kaamya has become the youngest girl in the world to scale the highest peak on all seven continents, setting a new standard in mountaineering. It’s been a privilege to fuel her passion and resilience as she continues to redefine the limits of human potential. Kaamya’s journey truly embodies the #FullOfAltitude spirit, and we celebrate her inspiring achievements that motivate the world with her unwavering determination.”

The ascent of Mt. Vinson Massif was an arduous and challenging journey, beginning with a flight more than halfway across the world into the remote Antarctic wilderness, followed by a relentless climb through treacherous ice fields, deep crevasses, and unpredictable weather. Climbers face some of the harshest conditions on Earth, with temperatures plummeting below -40C and winds exceeding 100 mph. Kaamyas remarkable accomplishments on so many mountains, including this summit, stand as a profound source of inspiration. She had also become the youngest Indian and the second youngest female in the world to climb Mt. Everest from the Nepal side earlier in May 2024. Her exceptional achievements had earned her the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Shakti Puraskar in 2021, India’s highest honour for young achievers, and recognition from the Hon. Prime Minister in his Mann Ki Baat.
