He didn’t grow up with medals in mind. But once he touched water competitively, there was no turning back.

He dove into the Mysuru Masters Swimming Championship and surfaced with 4 medals — 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze. And at the Asia Masters Athletics Championship (2016), he brought home 1 Gold and 3 Silver medals for India.

He isn’t just racing others — he’s outrunning doubt, age, and excuses.

Not Ageing. Awakening.
