Astha Pahwa

Astha may not have gotten into boxing had it not been for her father, a former wrestler, who ensured she had all the support needed to take up a combat sport, despite murmurs of societal disapproval in her hometown of Sahranpur in Uttar Pradesh. However, all that support paid off soon enough as Astha rose through the ranks in school tournaments and made waves in the youth boxing circuit. Having been scouted into the IIS Boxing program in 2017, Astha is now working on her technique and fitness as she prepares to step into the senior levels and is confident of putting in strong performances in 2019 after being called up to the national camp by the Boxing Federation of India.
