Devanshi Satija

Born with a congenital deformity on both her upper limbs, Devanshi is no stranger to dealing with adversity. While her tryst with the sport of swimming would only happen many years later when she turned 10, the signs of her blossoming into a talented swimmer were visible much earlier. At just 2 years of age, Devanshi was the victim of an unfortunate accident. While cheering for her sister, who is a swimmer as well, she accidently fell into the swimming pool. Devanshi miraculously made it back to the surface on her own, paddling both her hands and legs. Given her comfort in the water, swimming instantly became a hobby for Devanshi. Her natural talent and prowess at a young age convinced her family to enroll her for competitive swimming lessons at the age of 10. The progress Devanshi has made since then has been nothing short of meteoric. After some traiblazing displays across domestic tournaments, Devanshi has also managed to record some truly impressive successes at international events. Some of her most impressive successes include the distinction being the youngest ever athlete to win a medal in Asian Para Games 2018, representing India at the 2022 World Para Swimming Championships, Portugal, and clinching several medals in the Asian Youth Games. We have no doubt that this is just the beginning for Devanshi.
