He took up discus in 2010 in Haryana, India. He switched to shot put in 2018. (news9live.com, 14 Sep 2022; Athlete, 16 Jul 2017)
Reason: He got involved in Para athletics as he wanted to improve his physical fitness. “[In 2018] I went for a medical review that checks categories that a Para athlete can be part of. Discus throw wasn’t included but the shot put was. That is when I switched to shot put. The improvement, too, has been substantial. I started with 11m, and now [speaking in 2022] I have thrown around 14.5m.” (news9live.com, 14 Sep 2022; Athlete, 16 Jul 2017)
