As an adventurer and explorer, Dilshad has led several treks in Nepal and India, including Everest Base Camp, tackled Grade 5 rapids on the wild Zanskar river in Ladakh, and is the first and only female to ever lead a civilian trek to the Siachen Glacier—all of this after surviving cancer.

She focuses on the need for everyone to accept unpredictability and step out of their comfort zone to become resilient. Her talks are captivating, combining authenticity with motivational storytelling in a way that leaves a lasting impact on every audience and stage.
