The story: Limited access to consistent high-performance coaching affected his training intensity and race preparation.

The GSF impact: GLTADP supported an international training stint in Slovenia under his coach, giving him access to world-class facilities and immediate technical feedback.

The result: Gold medals at the Senior National Championships 2025, the All India Inter-University Championships, and the Khelo India University Games.
