Who Is Mudit Dani?
Despite coming from a background with roots in business and entrepreneurship, Mudit Dani chose a different path to chase his childhood dream, landing among India鈥檚 top table tennis champions.
Modi鈥檚 tryst with the sport began at a very young age when he won his very first medal in a local ranking tournament in Mumbai. The initial success fuelled his passion to pursue the course professionally. 鈥淭hat first win made me believe this sport had something for me,鈥 he said in an interview, as quoted by India.com. In the following years, Mudit became the first table tennis player from Mumbai to win a gold medal in the Cadet Boys Individual Event at an International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Junior Circuit Event held in El Salvador.
Later in 2019, Mudit scripted won India鈥檚 first senior ITTF medal at the US Open Championships, marking a breakout moment in his career.
Based in Mumbai, Mudit Dani has established himself as a major player in Indian table tennis, bagging a position among the top six in the global senior men鈥檚 singles rankings. Apart from his achievements, Mudit has also excelled academically.
A student of the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mudit went on to pursue a science degree in India, further earning a master鈥檚 in quantitative management from New York University. At that time, he efficiently balanced his advanced coursework with the tournament schedule, reflecting his perseverance and intellect at the same time.
Mudit鈥檚 old ties with the Dhirubhai Ambani International School and a possible business relationship between the families might have brought the Ambani family to join his wedding celebrations.
