At present, their accomplishments are tremendous in many fields. One such achievement is ‘All-women Indian Navy crew who travelled all over the world for 254 days in a sailboat called “INSV Tarini”.
INSV stands for Indian Naval Ship Vessel. Tara-Tarini is the patron deity for sailors and is worshipped for safety and success at sea. This INSV Tarini is the second sailboat of the Indian Navy. It is a 55 feet sailing vessel built in India by M/s Aquarius Shipyard Pvt. Ltd, located in Goa. It was taken into service by the Indian Navy on 18th February 2017. Navika Sagar Parikrama was a project undertaken in agreement with the National policy to empower women to attire their full potential. The voyage was aimed to showcase “Make in India” initiative by sailing on board built INSV Tarini. The Indian Navy had a six women crew. Lt. Commander Vartika Joshi was the Captain of the crew. The all-women team included Lt. Cdr. Pratibh Jamwal, Lt. Cdr. Swathi Patarapalli, Lt. Aishwarya Boddapati, Lt. Sh. Vijaya Devi and Lt. Payal Gupta.
The crew started their voyage on 10th September 2017 from Goa, flagged off by the Defence Minister of India.

The training they had was some theoretical courses on navigation, communication and weather prediction. Aishwarya stated that they underwent their basic training courses in Mumbai at the Indian Naval Waterman-ship Training Centre. They were trained for almost three years to prepare for the voyage. The selection process was that out of thirty women, six of them were shortlisted. The crew was mentored by Commander Dilip Donde. Vartika Joshi wanted to make sure that she completed the journey with ultimate honesty.
They completed this journey without the use of the engine at all. Payal Gupta told the interviewer that it was their team-effort which had actually helped them in navigating through the 20 hours long storm at sea. They witnessed the brilliant Southern Lights from the sea. It was rare to watch that in those months from the sea. They also picked some hobbies and kept posting pictures of delicacies like panipuri and cakes. They read books, when the weather was pleasant. Swathi used to cook delicious dishes with the limited resources that they had on the boat. They celebrated Diwali at sea and three birthdays including the first birthday of the boat.
