Quotes
Aditi Nandy
40-year-old powerlifter and HR leader from West Bengal, India
“Honestly, it still feels surreal. My first world-level appearance, my debut Masters event, and I’m standing on the podium with India’s flag on my shoulders. It’s a mix of gratitude, pride, and a quiet moment of ‘Yes… I earned this.’”

“Of course there were nerves. But the moment I stepped onto the platform, everything went silent. It was just me, the barbell, and India in my heart. I reminded myself, ‘You didn’t come this far to lift small.’”
