Lakshya Sen has quickly risen to fame in the world of badminton, becoming the first male Indian player to reach the Olympic semifinal. His remarkable victory over Taiwan’s Chou Tein Chen in the quarterfinals has made him India’s sole hope for a badminton medal at the Paris Olympics.
Born on August 16, 2001, in Almora, Uttarakhand, Lakshya started playing badminton at the age of five, following in the footsteps of his father and first coach, D K Sen. His prodigious talent was evident early on, leading to his recruitment by the prestigious Prakash Padukone Academy at just 10 years old. Despite being a multi-sport enthusiast, playing football, cricket, and basketball, badminton has always been Lakshya’s "first love."
At 15, he became the youngest player to reach the Indian National men’s singles final and was ranked world No. 1 in juniors. He completed his schooling at Beersheba Senior Secondary School, Haldwani, and is known for his attacking instinct, powerful smashes, and improved all-court play, including refined defense and net dribbles.
