The 2010 Commonwealth Games in India was one of her first international tournaments as a player and Akshata went on to represent the country at various international events including the World Championships, and FIG World Cup, captaining the Indian team at multiple tournaments. She has over 150 State and National Level medals.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Akshata says, \u201cFrom an athlete to being a Judge and judging the athletes, it feels like a dream. As a player I used to wonder what goes on at the Judges panel and today when I sit with my colleagues from different countries I do realise the importance of a Judge during competitions. At the games the Judges have to report one day prior to the competition for podium training where we observe all the athletes to get a feel of the competition. At the Judges panel there is tremendous pressure to give correct judgement to each and every athlete as the result completely depends on us.\u201d &#8211; Best wishes to Akshata from Team India.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Akshata as every other ordinary child started gymnastics as an extracurricular at the age of five years. Little did she know that this sport would give her an identity and with sheer dedication and hard work she took up this sport as a career. She played her first tournament at the age of seven years and won her very 1st medal which motivated her to train for 5 to 6 hours a day. With rigorous training and dedication, she became the Junior Champion for three consecutive years and Senior Champion for five consecutive years from Maharashtra respectively. She is recognized as an International and National champion from India.

She is the highest category Judge in India and has judged top tournaments internationally as well as at the national stage. The accomplished athlete continues to support the sport as a coach to many upcoming talents. She founded Bombay Physical Culture Association Rhythmic Club in Mumbai 10 years ago which has been famously recognized as one of the top clubs in Maharashtra. Her club trains more than 150 students who have won numerous medals at District, State and National Competitions. She says; \u201cI believe, the knowledge gained must be shared.
