General
SHOOTING ACADEMEY
He started his own shooting academy [Gun for Glory] in Pune to help train talented shooters and provide better pathways. "I have seen a lot of struggle in the initial days of my career. My father had to sell his land, where he had planned to build a house. He had to sell it to buy a rifle for me. After I got medals at the international level, people used to ask me about where to send their kids for shooting and I had nothing to suggest. Today, I am in a position to give it back to the society. Through this academy, we will train talented shooters, and support them in the future, so that no other father will have to sell his land to buy rifles." (dnaindia.com, 24 Jul 2011)

EARLY DAYS
At the age of four, he was at the beach with his parents in Chennai when he pointed excitedly at a balloon seller. It was not the coloured balloons that caught his attention however, but the rifle that was offered to shoot them. He shot a few balloons and his journey as an international marksman had begun. (The Hindu, 12 Sep 2002)

SUPPORT
He is supported by the Olympic Gold Quest, a not-for profit company set up by Indian sporting icons Geet Sethi and Prakash Padukone to help Indian athletes reach their potential at the Olympic Games. (hindustantimes.com, 05 Oct 2010)
