I am from a middle class family belonging to Khalispur village where schools were scarce and sports were almost alien to the people. My quest started the day I went with my father to apply for my studies. That’s when I first saw students of Indian Baaz Sports Academy (IBSA) training in self-defense. Because of the determination and passion they put in, it lit a fire in me.

At first my father was concerned due to my young age, and then many tried to discourage me with their statements that martial arts was dangerous. But I held on to my dream. With persistence I persuaded my father and got started. I became a National Gold Medalist in Muay Thai in June 2022 and I’ve won my first Gold Medal at the District Muay Thai Championship in 2021.

Today, I’m an Assistant Coach and Core Team Member at IBSA, inspiring and training the next generation of champions.
