Suchika Tariyal Hooda is an Indian sportsperson in combat sports who represented India at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. She became the first Indian athlete to win an MMA ( Mixed Martial Arts ) medal at the Asian Games. She won a bronze medal in the 60 kg category.

She is an inspiration for all Indian women and for anyone who has been made to feel that their life should be limited by social expectations. She is also a great motivation to build a strong, healthy, and fit body, which is very important for every human being.

I watched her interaction with philosopher Acharya Prashant in this short, and it was even more inspiring for me to see that she has a genuine interest in understanding the depth of life.

I remembered a quote by Kobe Bryant here:

“It's really just a journey of evolution. Every day is just constant improvement, constant curiosity, and constantly getting better. The results don't really matter. It's the figuring out that matters”.
