What if the real adventure of life begins at 65?
Meet Dr. Bhagwati Oza, an 81-year-old former gynaecologist from Rajkot, Gujarat, who swapped her stethoscope for sneakers — and redefined what ageing could look like for every Indian woman.
She’s not just living longer — she’s living louder. With over 200 medals, a pilot’s license, a brush for painting, and a heart that refuses to slow down, Dr. Oza is proof that passion doesn’t retire — it transforms.
From Saving Lives to Inspiring Them
Long before she became a sporting legend, Dr. Oza spent decades as a doctor in government hospitals. She even worked alongside Mother Teresa during the 1979 Morbi Dam disaster, offering care when hope was scarce.
But her story didn’t end in the hospital ward. It began again — on a cycle track, in a river, up a mountain.
At 65, she decided to chase something new: strength, spirit, and the joy of movement.
Pilot. Painter. Poet. Powerhouse.
At 81, Dr. Bhagwati Oza continues to defy age with grace and grit. A trained pilot, accomplished ghazal singer, and passionate painter, she embodies the spirit of a true renaissance woman. Her life is a vibrant canvas of achievements across the skies, arts, and sports.
“I’m 81, and age has never stopped me. I thrive on challenges — that’s why I keep conquering them.”
Medals, Missions & Mountains
Since then, she has:
- Won 200+ medals in swimming, cycling, and more
- Represented India in international veteran championships
- Pedaled from Kolkata to Kanyakumari, and Pune to Bengaluru
- Spoken out for climate change and women’s health
