He took up badminton at age five. In 2011 he began competing in Para badminton. (indusind.com, 01 Jan 2019; thebridge.in, 30 Sep 2018)

"I loved badminton from childhood, but it was never an aim for me. One day, my paternal uncle brought a new badminton set for all my older brothers. I felt bad and hurt, so I took money from my mother and bought a new badminton racquet for myself. I made a firm decision that I'll not let my older brothers win against me, and that's how I started playing badminton with full passion and determination. When I was in 11th grade, I was selected to play at the inter-school competition where I met coach D.K. Sen. In the second round, I lost my match after which he called me and suggested I play in the Para team. I wasn't aware of Para sports at that time, so he explained the scenario to me. He told me if I play Para badminton, I can represent India." (sportsmatik.com, 20 Jan 2020)

"I realised that when I was a child, I played just for the love of the sport. Back then, I would never have thought that one day I would reach such a high level. I played because I loved to play. As a result, I decided to ignore all these material benefits and focus on doing what I love." (thebridge.in, 30 Sep 2018)

He was named Para Sportsman of the Year at the 2019 Sportstar Aces Awards in India. (sportstar.thehindu.com, 14 Feb 2019)

Classification
SL3 (BWF, 20 Apr 2020)

Impairment Details
He contracted polio at age one which affected his right leg. Due to an improper medical treatment he then developeda a post-polio residual paralysis [PPRP] lower limb condition. (sportsmatik.com, 20 Jan 2020; newspost.live, 18 Sep 2018)

General
EARLY DAYS
He played against able-bodied players until high school. "I used to play with able-bodied players, so at the beginning with Para players, things were very easy for me. When I joined Para badminton, I got so surprised as the rules and regulations, difficulty level and everything was very different from the able one. That's why, when I participated in my first nationals, I won many matches because everything seems very casual to me. But things have changed, many countries are involved in the sport, training has been improved and the level of play is on great heights." (sportsmatik.com, 20 Jan 2020)
