From childhood, I used to watch athletes and they won medals on TV so I used to dream that one day I too could win medals for my country by combining studies and sports. I came from a village and didn’t have that chance early in life. But when I completed my 12th, my life changed when the Indian Baaz Sports Academy (IBSA) opened a stones throw away from my home.

With their support, Vaibhav Sir and Mansi Ma’am, I started my training on 8th November 2021. I was determined and kept on working through the family problems. My perseverance was worth it- I won 2 Gold Medals in the Lucknow District Kalaripayattu Championship followed by 2 Gold Medals at the State level followed by a Silver Medal at the 38th National Championship.

Today I am proud to be an Assistant Coach and Core Team Member at IBSA and help others transform their health, mindset, and life through sports.
