Across Oceans, Against Odds: Women at Sea and Beyond. | Dr. (Hon) Kusum Kanwar | TEDxYouth@OIS

How many dreams have been quietly abandoned because someone believed, "This isn't a place for women"? In her talk, Kusum explores the invisible barriers that continue to shape the maritime industry and why creating environments built on safety, respect, and inclusion is essential to encouraging more women to pursue careers at sea. Reflecting the spirit of Sagar Mein Samman (Respect at Sea), she reminds us that every journey begins with dignity, and every industry grows stronger when talent is welcomed without prejudice. Dr. Kusum Kanwar is an educator, author, and founder of
KKK Learning Systems, with over 35 years of experience in
education. A former sea cadet from T.S. Jawahar, her
journey reflects a career spent navigating and
challenging traditionally male-dominated spaces. Her
work focuses on active learning and emotional well-being,
and her talk, Across Oceans, Against Odds: Women at Sea
and Beyond, explores the often-overlooked contributions
of women in shaping economies and communities.
