 <br /> <keyword id="3379355" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Yogita-Raghuvanshi">Yogita Raghuvanshi</keyword> wears many sleeves. She is trained in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=law&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">law</a>, a mother of two undergraduate students and since 2000- a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=truck+driver&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">truck driver</a>, who’s been driving across the length and breadth of the country.<br />
 <br />
Her surprising choice of occupation was a result of an ill-fated marriage and a resolve to make ends meet for her family.<br />
 <br />
Yogita, who is originally from <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=uttar+pradesh&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Uttar Pradesh</a> but grew up in Nandurbar, Maharashtra along with her four siblings was a keen student and earned degrees in both commerce and law.<br />
 <br />
In 1991, she was married off to a man from <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=bhopal&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Bhopal,</a> whose family claimed that he was a lawyer practicing in the Bhopal High Court before the marriage. Unfortunately for her, that claim turned out to be a lie and became the foundation for an extremely unhappy marriage.<br />
 <br /> It was when her husband passed away in a road accident 16 years ago, did Yogita consider the decision to work as a <keyword id="53056" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="truck-driver">truck driver</keyword> taking on the tough and risky life of the highways, despite being academically qualified.<br />
 <br />
At that time, what she needed was instant money to support her family and two children and driving the big trucks gave her that. She realised that the amount she would earn being employed in a field of law as a beginner would not have been enough for her circumstances.<br />
 <br />
“If I had opted to be a junior to some lawyer and enter the legal profession, I would have got only a pittance for the many initial years. But I learnt that driving trucks meant instant wages,” Yogita explained.<br />

<br /> Naturally, her journey as India’s most qualified woman <keyword id="46652" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Truck">truck</keyword> driver began with snide comments and hostile stares but Yogita wasn’t one to give up. She worked her way through all the obstacles and is now a confident woman working in a male dominated field and providing for her two children.<br />
 <br />
What more, by 2013, she had already managed to drive more than 5 lakh kilometres.<br />
 <br />
Now, in her late forties, Yogita can expertly maneuver a 14-wheeler truck with its 30-tonne-cargo through the busy lanes of the country.<br />
 <br />
This week for example, she had driven a liquor consignment all the way from Bhopal to a Kerala State Beverages Corporation godown.<br />
<br /> If nothing, Yogita is an <keyword id="6387628" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Inspiration">inspiration</keyword> for women across the country for her courage, resolve and never say die attitude,<br />

<ul><li>This International Women’s Day, <keyword id="2307576" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="bumble">Bumble</keyword>, Levi’s, <keyword id="180327" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shell-India">Shell India</keyword>, Adidas and Groww celebrated sisterhood and solidarity.</li><li>We couldn’t help but notice how all of the above mentioned brands used the word ‘move’ in their ads.</li></ul>This women’s day, our inbox was flooded with all kinds of ads! Some simply offered a special discount to women (thanks, no thanks) and some took a genuine interest in finding out about women from across the country and convert their stories into small ads. Every year, the International Women’s Day on March 08 brings an opportunity for brands to shine a spotlight on a few underrepresented groups and this year, brands did not disappoint! They beautifully showed women conquering patriarchy, breaking various stereotypes associated with beauty and body types, celebrated a few women who have made it in male-dominated industries or simply raised a toast to female companionship. <br /><br />However, we couldn’t help but notice that ‘move’ was one of the most common words used this year. Five brands this year talked about solidarity, sisterhood and how one woman breaking the glass ceiling and pursuing her dreams sets a ripple effect by inspiring a group of women to ‘move along.’ They celebrated women who take charge and reminded them to keep moving like they do.<br /><br />Levi’s ad titled ‘When you take a step, we all move’ is an ode to the collective movement of women who are moving ahead with strength and shaping a massive cultural change. The film features brand ambassador <keyword id="598" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Deepika-Padukone">Deepika Padukone</keyword> alongside diverse women from everyday walks-of-life dreaming, believing, and taking the step with confidence to live their next big thing. As each woman finds confidence and comfort in expressing their fearless pursuits, it inspires people around her to join in and move with her. So, ‘Moving forward’ and encouraging others to keep moving along seemed to be the theme this year.<br />      <div type="Youtube" id="zg9IIbwsreM" title="Levi's® We All Move" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zg9IIbwsreM/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />Bumble’s ‘All Our Moves’ campaign celebrates and champions all the courageous moves women in India make everyday – the seemingly unnoticed, imperfect, vulnerable and yet audacious, sometimes outrageous, but ultimately courageous first moves. The moves that women themselves will always keep a count of. These everyday first moves may not always go down in history but they take us a step forward in building an inclusive, equal society. <br />      <div type="Youtube" id="_f8KPREKEgQ" title="All Our Moves" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_f8KPREKEgQ/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />International energy company, Shell India’s Women’s Day campaign is titled ‘Great Things Happen When We Move.’ It is a campaign about women who have displayed courage and motivation to realise their ambitions by doing one simple thing - moving forward. It encourages Indian women to keep moving by highlighting the stories of three inspiring women: Yogita Raghuvanshi, India’s first woman truck driver, Geeta Tandon Bollywood’s leading stuntwoman, and Sumitra Senapaty, founder of Women on Wanderlust. The core assertion of these films is to establish that mobility is a key enabler of people’s progress and it holds specifically true for women.<br />      <div type="Youtube" id="ymjkC23GUfU" title="Truck Driver | Great Things Happen When We Move #MoveWithShell" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ymjkC23GUfU/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />      <div type="Youtube" id="5FAo9qIwK3U" title="Stuntwoman | Great Things Happen When We Move #MoveWithShell" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5FAo9qIwK3U/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />      <div type="Youtube" id="WPa2Gz2Hfb8" title="Solo Traveller | Great Things Happen When We Move #MoveWithShell" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WPa2Gz2Hfb8/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />Groww’s #OneStepCloser reminds us how ‘when one woman moves forward, more women move forward. It talks about bridging the gender-based wealth gap in the world by encouraging women to invest in themselves and in their future. <br />      <div type="Youtube" id="pzVgL7NGd24" title="This Women's Day, Get #OneStepCloser with @Groww" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pzVgL7NGd24/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />Adidas’ Watch Us Move campaign is also a celebration of womanhood and freedom of movement. Through 'Watch Us Move', the brand celebrates the positive movement of women who are spreading an infectious aura of rebellious optimism. It reminds how sport is beyond caste, socio-economic status, physical and psychological barriers. <br />      <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div><br />      <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div><br />So this women’s day, as Finding Nemo’s Dory would say, just keep moving!<br />
