Born with a disability, Pramesh embraced sport at 15 against medical advice, represented his state (junior & men’s), and became a three-time university champion. A multi-sport enthusiast (cricket, chess, table tennis, badminton, squash), he believes sport should be a culture and way of life.

For the past nine months, he has been in love with darts and is building a clear pathway in Gujarat through regular coaching and grassroots events.
