I belong to Sastewadi, a small village near Baramati. My mother is a homemaker, while my father works as a farmer. In our house, everyone helped however they could. Our lives revolved around a life of routine and responsibility; nothing extraordinary. Looking back, that upbringing gave me a strong base. It helped me become more realistic, patient, and accustomed to working hard. These traits later benefited me in endurance events as well as in my career.

Using government grants, I finished my education after putting a lot of effort into my academics. After earning my degree in Electronics & Telecommunication from Pune University in 2013, I started working in core electronics, which includes programming for electric vehicles. My professional journey was stable and growing, but there was always a quiet longing for sports within me.

I had played state-level Kabaddi during school and loved running in competitions. That desire never truly faded away. Years later, when I ran a 10K, it felt like I was returning to a part of me that had been on hold, but not gone. That was the turning point in my endurance journey.
