Hailing from the tranquil village of Sulthanbathery in Kerala’s Wayanad district, Risona Maria’s story is one of unwavering passion and relentless pursuit of her dreams. Born to a hardworking autorickshaw driver and a devoted homemaker, Risona’s aspirations knew no bounds, even in the face of financial constraints. From meticulously collecting newspaper clippings of airline industry training courses to embarking on a journey that would defy societal norms, her dedication knew no bounds.
“Seeing my keen interest, my parents took a huge loan to help me pursue my passion,” recalls Risona Maria. After completing her 12th standard, she enrolled at the prestigious Frankfinn Institute in Bengaluru, laying the foundation for her remarkable career ahead. In September 2012, at the tender age of 21, she joined IndiGo as a Customer Service Executive, marking the beginning of her remarkable ascent in the aviation industry.
Today, as the Airport Manager at Belagavi, Risona oversees the smooth operations of IndiGo’s four daily flights to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Delhi.
