Paralympic Archer Sheetal Devi Stuns Netizens With Her Car Driving Skills: WATCH
Last Updated: Devi was born with Phocomelia, a rare congenital disorder that causes underdeveloped limbs. Indian Paralympic medal-winning archer Sheetal Devi continues to dismantle every doubt and obstacle, dazzling fans with a clip of her driving a car with her feet. Devi was born with Phocomelia, a rare congenital disorder that causes underdeveloped limbs. However, her fortunes changed in 2019 when she was discovered by the Indian Army at a military camp. Recognizing her potential, they provided educational support and medical care. Under the mentorship of Kuldeep Vedwan, a specialized Paralympic archery coach, Sheetal embarked on a rigorous training regimen. Her dedication culminated in a historic achievement at the 2023 World Archery Para Championship, when she won a silver medal, making her the world's first armless woman archer to compete at such a level. A hungry and undeterred Devi also etched history at the 2024 Paris Paralympics by becoming the youngest Indian to win a medal at the esteemed event. She uses her right foot, right shoulder, and jaw to release the arrow, and gets the upper body strength from a penchant for climbing trees as a kid. Now, in yet another stellar display of breaking all barriers, Sheetal took to Instagram to post a video of her maneuvering a car effortlessly on her own. 'Took on the driver's seat for a while, loving every moment of it. Never say NEVER," she captioned it. Sheetal Devi and Rakesh Kumar had a brilliant performance at the 2024 Paralympics as the Indian duo clinched the bronze medal in the mixed team compound archery competition. The Indian duo triumphed over Italy's Eleonora Sarti and Matteo Bonacina in the third-place match to secure the Bronze, marking only the second time that India has claimed a medal in Paralympic archery. With the win, Sheetal also etched personal history of her own, becoming the first Indian woman to win an archery medal in the history of the Paralympics. First Published: June 27, 2025, 15:44 IST

Dream it, build it
It often starts with a simple idea — a soap handcrafted in a home kitchen, a puzzle designed at the dining table, or a small store on a bustling street deciding to take the plunge online. Ahead of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Day (June 27), it's these stories that deserve the spotlight, stories of humble beginnings that dared to grow, adapt, and dream bigger. 'Earthy Sapo started as a passion project, not a business plan,' shares Sheetal Kabra Mohanty, founder of the Hyderabad-based personal care brand. 'When I first began making soaps, I shared them with friends and family and participated in farmers' markets around the city. My goal was simple, to connect with people, understand their skin and hair care concerns, and see if my products could genuinely help. I wasn't in a rush. I spent nearly two to three years just doing that — listening, learning, and gathering honest feedback,' adds Sheetal. What followed was no overnight transformation. Sheetal spent years refining formulations and deepening her understanding of what customers truly needed. 'The response I received was not just positive, it was heartwarming. That's when I began thinking of Earthy Sapo not just as a passion but as a business,' she says. A key turning point came in 2017–18, when a loyal customer encouraged her to explore online retail. 'Amazon was the first e-commerce platform I joined. Their onboarding was seamless, and their vast reach — both across India and internationally which helped me take Earthy Sapo beyond local markets. Their robust logistics, user-friendly tech tools, and deep expertise in online selling made a huge difference. For me, Amazon became the launchpad that transformed Earthy Sapo from a farmers' market brand into one serving customers nationwide and beyond,' she notes.
