My Sporting Journey
I started running in 2014 as a mother of two beautiful daughters, initially to shed off pregnancy weight. Since then, my passion for running has continued without interruption. Along the way, I became a core member of various running groups and proudly founded Kalinga runners in Odisha, which now supports over 500 runners. Running has transformed my fitness and has become a community-building endeavour that I cherish deeply.
