My Sporting Journey
I am a Delhi-based practicing architect who has been passionate about sports all my life. As a youngster, I played cricket and judo for the Delhi state. I started running at the age of 40, and it has since become my main sport. I have participated in various races across India and a few abroad.
I run a highly active running group in Delhi called Runxtreme and also offer personal coaching. Since 2016, I have organized a charitable event called Share and Care, through which I support athletes from underprivileged sections of society. Over the past eight years, I have helped close to 5,000 such athletes, some of whom receive continuous support and have secured podium finishes at various events.
