Industrialist Anand Mahindra never fails to provide us with the most engaging content through his social media updates. The Mahindra Group chairman, who has 10.5 million followers on Twitter, regularly piques their interest with funny, informative and trending topics. He also shares inspiring stories of people who have achieved great success in their respective fields. In his recent post, he shared a video of 19-year-old Prathamesh Samadhan Javkar, who recently won gold for India at the Archery World Cup in Shanghai.
The video, originally posted by life coach Sudhir Puthran, shows Mr. Javkar defeating world No. 1 Mike Schloesser of the Netherlands to clinch his first gold medal at the World Cup. They had earlier dismissed the Korean pair of Kim Jongho and Choi Yonghee and continued their giant-killing act to beat the Dutchman 149-148 in the men’s compound individual final, according to PTI.
Sharing the video, Mr Mahindra wrote, “Absolutely unbelievable. He seems to have nerves of steel and a laser-sharp focus. A champion in the making. You are right, @SudhirPuthran. I hadn’t heard of him till today but will track him from now on. I hope he wins in the final in Hermosillo in September. He got up!

The original post read, “This is the land where great warriors like Shri Ram, Arjuna and others roamed with their bows and arrows. This land has completely neglected archery as a skill. How many of you have heard of 19 year old Prathamesh Samadhan Javkar from India? He is the new world champion in the ongoing Archery World Cup 2023, Shanghai! What concentration and focus!
The post has been flooded with heartwarming comments from netizens, who were inspired by the teenager’s extraordinary talent and wished him all the best for the upcoming tournaments.
One user wrote, ‘I agree with Anand sir. Thanks Sudhir for taking out this talented young boy. Best wishes to him for his upcoming tournaments. Praise.”
A third said, “Level of calm and focused, amazing.” A fourth wrote, “Proud of you Prathmesh! India is proud of you! God bless you!”
A fifth wrote, “How ironic that a world champion needs a tweet from @anandmahindra sir to be introduced to the world.” Hardly anyone knows about him, no media coverage, no appreciation…he deserves better than this.
