| Deepti Pruthvi, an Indian doctor, made headlines for rallying alongside her daughter Shivani Pruthvi in national competitions. |
| After her formal education, she married BS Pruthvi, who trained her to become a race navigator. |
| She began working as a pathologist and professor at SS Institute of Medical Sciences in Davangere in January 2005. |
| At 50, she became a navigator to assist her daughter, Shivani, as no one wanted to work with a new race driver. |
| During training, she acclimated to rally conditions by wearing racing gear in a heated room, a familiar situation from her work as a doctor. |
| She learned rally driving rules, signals, and navigation, debuting in the 2019 South Indian Rally with Shivani. |
| Deepti won Times Women’s Drive with her mother in 2018 and 2019 and competed in the 2021 KMS 50 Grand Prix in Coimbatore. |
| Passionate about dogs, Deepti owns several. Her daughter Shivani was initially concerned about her ability to navigate in races, but changed her mind after an accident where Deepti's quick actions impressed her. |
| Deepti has appeared in advertisements for companies like JK Tyres and Volkswagen. |
