I once went for a rowing event and decided to become a rower after watching. After my Army training, I joined the rowing camp and slowly started getting interested in sport."

BREAKTHROUGH RESULT
He and crewmate Arjun Lal first met in 2017 during their service in the Indian Army, and a year later began training in lightweight double sculls at the Army Sports Institute in Pune. He says they were able to gain confidence after winning a silver medal at the 2019 Asian Championships in Chungju, Republic of Korea, after spending time as reserves in the national team. "We used to be scared of them [the bigger teams in rowing] and think, 'By how many leagues will they beat us?' But we won a silver medal in South Korea, so that kind of helped with the confidence." (olympics.com, 13 May 2021; newindianexpress.com, 08 May 2021; thebridge.in, 31 Oct 2020)

OCCUPATION
He serves in the Indian Army as a junior commissioned officer. (newindianexpress.com, 08 May 2021)
