00:00That's me climbing a 35 meter high GSMR tower.
00:04That's me working underground in a 3.5 meter deep pit.
00:08I like to call myself Desi Bob the Builder.
00:19I'm currently working as an inspection engineer for an Indian Railways project.
01:00When I joined 2 years ago, the percentage of people who were accepting of the fact
01:06and kind of a little normal and neutral that a girl came to the site,
01:12that acceptance rate was only 5%.
01:23This aunty called my mother and she was like,
01:26how are you letting Kashish do all of this and aren't you concerned about her?
01:30And I would never let my daughter do anything like this.
01:47Now I feel like I'm one of the team and they're like she's one of us.
01:53You know that feeling.
01:55Now that acceptance rate is at 95%.
02:06The end result we want is that the work we've come to do should be done.
02:10Whether a boy or a girl is doing that work, it doesn't matter if your work is done in the end.
