Kolkata-based Shivani Agarwalla, 35, is a shining example of how dedication and perseverance helps you soar the highest skies. A young girl who set extraordinary goals for herself and defied the odds is basking in the glory of her success today in the fields of sports and chartered accountancy.
There is more to this Marwari girl than meets the eye. She is acknowledged as India's first woman athlete and four-time world champion in Kettlebell Sport-she represented India at the International Kettlebell World Championship in Uzbekistan in 2018, winning the first gold medal for India in that category. In 2019, she outclassed her own achievements and won the second gold medal in Australia followed by the third in France in November '21. In July 22, she won Double Gold for India at the 29th IGSF World Championship held in Greece, where she got the coveted rank of Master of Sports the first by any Indian Woman Athlete. Shivani has been instrumental in building India's robust positioning in Kettlebell, and the same has been acknowledged by the Indian Government. Time and again, she has been vocal about the need to promote new forms of sport.
Shivani is also a renowned Chartered Accountant, a practising member, and on the National Faculty for Indirect Taxation from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), having delivered more than 250 sessions about Indirect Taxation across the country. Besides these achievements, she dons multiple roles- of a wife, daughter, mother and aces all of it. A proud mother to a six-year-old, she wears her pride up her sleeve.
In her own words, Shivani talks about growing up in a joint Marwari family, and representing India in Kettlebell Sport.
