After joining the army as a lieutenant, Colonel Sophia also recalled a thing related to Operation Parakram. She told, 'When I was in the division, her company commander said that, Sophia, if you want a salute, you have to earn it. We have to work seriously.' In this program of August 2023, Sophia said, looking back today, I realize that I have earned a salute due to my service and hard work in the army. Sophia said that she got good mentors, working under whose guidance she also got a commendation card in Operation Parakram.

She had the privilege of participating in an operation during the historic presidential election.
Sophia said, the military contingent formed with soldiers from countries like Sweden, Tunisia, Uruguay had to conduct a cordon and search operation. India was leading it. We successfully carried out an operation of about 72 hours. After the operation was over, the company commander expressed curiosity about her. He asked who is that woman officer of the Indian Army? After hearing this, he felt proud. People got to know the Indian Army, not Sophia Qureshi.
She also got the opportunity to lead the military contingent of ASEAN countries. She was the only female military officer among 22 countries.
