The comms box really is the best seat in the house because you get an uninterrupted view of all the action! #Badminton #BWFWorldChampionships #IndianSports #SportsBroadcasting #WomenInSport #BaddyWithAshwini @bwfmedia @infrontsports

Here’s a little video I took before starting my commentary session. I was genuinely in awe of the quality of matches across all courts. So many incredible matches happening at the same time, it was hard to choose which one to focus on. Must say, that’s a pretty awesome problem

2009, the @bwfmedia World Championships were hosted in #India for the 1st time. I was behind the scenes as a youngster, watching the best in the world turn up in Hyderabad. 2026, the #WorldChampionships are back in India. #Badminton #BWFWorldChampionships #SportsBroadcasting

I return with years of experience and a very different perspective. Same tournament. Different accreditation. A whole new view of it. What a week to come home to. 🏸🇮🇳 #Badminton #BWFWorldChampionships #IndianSports #SportsBroadcasting #WomenInSport @bwfmedia

Performance is not just physical – it is the quality of the connection between your mind and body. For me, it’s more than just about the results; it is a journey of learning, growing and constantly working. The real progress often starts by truly listening to your body and mind.

“To get fast, you have to go slow.” It’s the guitarist’s secret – and it’s an elite athlete’s superpower. Whether you are mastering a guitar or a defensive backhand, the biggest barrier to real progress is the temptation to force speed before you’ve earned it through patience

On the Something Bigger show with @rodrigo_canelas, I had the chance to pause, look back, and speak about what my journey as badminton player felt like – not just as an athlete, but also as a person. Full episode here: youtu.be/gfUhJ83LjYk #WomenInSports #Olympics #Badminton

We go into the psychological demands of elite sport, navigating pressure and expectations, identity beyond results, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up year after year. Full episode here: youtu.be/gfUhJ83LjYk #WomenInSports #Olympics #Badminton #HighPerformance

A different experience at the Syed Modi this year 🗣️🎙️ It was tricky trying to articulate what I saw live, but I was fortunate to have a super supportive and encouraging lead commentator guiding me through 🙌😊 #Badminton #SyedModiInternational

Early morning reflections brought me to this photo of me at the Yavanika badminton court in Bangalore. This is where my badminton journey began. I have so many memories of being brought here as a little kid — straight from school — to train. #Badminton🏸…

Forever grateful to my parents for the love and effort they put in, juggling full-time jobs yet making sure I got the best of both worlds: a regular school life and the chance to learn this beautiful sport. #Badminton🏸…
