His Journey in his words:

When I started with my calisthenics journey my parents were not in support of this sport. I had to face difficulties & family issues. Later the bars at which we practiced were removed by the local authorities creating a hindrance in our daily routines. My training completely stopped at this time, we were left with no place to train at all. But that was not going to stop me and all the other athletes who trained at the same place. I took the lead and filed an application to the authorities to lay another set of calisthenics bars. After a lot of paperwork & restrictions, we finally made it to set up these bars again at Bandra Carter Road. We are now endlessly working on our paths towards growing in calisthenics.

Future Goals in Calisthenics :

I want to own my calisthenics gym or studio and help all the beginners struggling into calisthenics and make my contribution to grow the calisthenics community in India.
