I embarked on my barefoot running odyssey in December 2017 with a Pinkathon untimed 5k run sponsored by my company. I transitioned from 5K race to a barefoot half marathon in December 2018 and a full marathon (TMM) in January 2020, completing it in an impressive 4 hours and 31 minutes. Venturing into ultramarathons, I conquered a Tata Ultra 50K race in 6 hours and 22 minutes later that same year (again barefoot). The pinnacle of my journey arrived in August 2022 at the iconic Comrades Marathon in South Africa, a grueling 90K race where I secured a Bronze medal, completing it in 10 hours and 48 minutes.

Notably, I triumphed in the Border Ultra-Hell Race in Dec 2023, a challenging 100-mile race from Jaisalmer to Longewala, securing the 2nd runner-up position with a remarkable time of 24 hours and 52 minutes. This achievement added a new chapter to my running exploits, showcasing both endurance and tenacity. I also secured podiums at various events like NDA Marathon (42K), & Apla Pune Marathon (50K).
In 2021, I participated in the Bombay to Goa Relay Run, organized by the Bombay Running Group, a race recognized by the India Book of Records. Beyond personal triumphs, I've embraced roles such as the event ambassador for the IIT Powai half marathon, a 2.30-hour half marathon pacer at the Vasai Virar marathon in 2022, and a 5.30-hour full marathon pacer at the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2023. Additionally, I was recognized as the Fastest Female Runner at the Bloomberg Square Mile-Mumbai event in 2020.
As an ACSM certified marathon coach, I continue to share my passion and expertise, guiding others on their own journeys of relentless dedication, boundless possibilities, and the transformative power of the runner's spirit.
