Six years ago, Tejas Mahajan made the switch from badminton to pickleball. He made rapid progress and went on to win multiple medals at the national and international level. The 26-year-old's latest triumph came at the Asia Pickleball Open in Thailand in February, where he picked up two golds and a bronze. More importantly, pickleball gave him an identity and means to earn a livelihood through which he has been able to pay off his home loan in Jalgaon and buy a shiny new motorcycle.
