Nitesh Kumar won a gold medal in para-badminton in the Paralympics 2024 and thus ended up becoming a household name. And in this exclusive podcast with Republic SportFit, he gives an interesting anecdote on how his journey towards a gold medal in para-badminton started out, ironically, due to his place of study - IIT.

Nitesh said he was doing his B.Tech at IIT Mandi when he first started properly playing badminton. He had never trained in the sport professionally but the athlete in him enjoyed the process and he continued to not only get better, but would spend more and more time on court - often to the neglect of his studies.

He said that IIT Mandi did not discourage him from playing and thus he was able to keep playing, something he is forever grateful for as it helped him become the person he is today.

The support he got from IIT continues on even today, as people from the institute remain in touch with him and even reached out to congratulate him when he scripted his name into the history books at the Paris Paralympics.

This podcast was recorded in New Delhi, India.
