Grit, Glory & Growth of a Para Champion | Kritva Unplugged | Pruthvi Barve| Ep8 |

Описание: Episode 8 of Kritva Unplugged features an inspiring and powerful conversation with Pruthvi Barve, one of India’s leading para table tennis athletes.

Born with right-sided hemiparesis, Pruthvi chose to rise beyond physical limitations and societal perceptions to carve her own path in competitive sport. From picking up a paddle at a young age to representing India on national and international platforms, her journey is a testament to resilience, discipline, and unwavering belief.

In this episode, Pruthvi speaks candidly about:
• The challenges she faced as a para athlete
• Overcoming self-doubt and societal barriers
• The importance of family support and strong mentors — the key pillars in her life
• The grind behind competitive table tennis
• Her major achievements, including medals at Para National Championships, Khelo India Para Games, BRICS events and international opens
• Receiving the prestigious Fergusson Gaurav Award while still a student

She also reflects on how the ecosystem for para athletes in India has evolved over the years — from limited visibility and infrastructure to growing recognition, structured competitions, and stronger pathways for global representation.
This episode is not just about sport. It’s about mindset, courage, and redefining what is possible.

Watch till the end for a deeply motivating conversation that goes beyond the game.
