Koneru Humpy was indeed India's first Woman Grand Master (WGM) in chess, achieving the title in 2002. She later became India's first female to achieve the men's Grand Master (GM) title as well. Aarthie Ramaswamy, S. Meenakshi, and S. Vijayalakshmi are all accomplished chess players but Humpy holds the distinction of being the first WGM.
