is practicing ENT surgeon, Regular Runner at  Botanical Garden, wer look forward to continuing journey, taking on many more races and challenges in the future.

I began my running journey with Couch to 5K at RTP and completed my graduation 5K run in February 2025.

Building on that foundation, I joined the Train and Shine program at BG, where I continued to grow as a runner. This led me to complete my first 10K at the NMDC Marathon in August 2025.

With the constant support and encouragement of my coaches at BG, along with the camaraderie of my fellow runners in the Train and Shine group, I went on to achieve an important milestone—my first half marathon at the Club Run 2026.

I secured 1st runner-up in my age category at the Soldierathon Hyderabad in February 2026, which was only my second half marathon.

Beyond running, I’ve also tried to give back by volunteering with Project Champion for a period of time.
