He defeated Mike Schloesser 149–148 in the men’s composite individual final
Industrialist Anand Mahindra always treats us to the most engaging content through his social media updates. The chairman of Mahindra Group, who has 10.5 million followers on Twitter, regularly piques their interest with funny, informative and popular topics. He also shares inspiring stories of people who have achieved great success in their respective fields. In his recent post, he shared the video of 19-year-old Prathamesh Samadhan Jawkar who recently won a gold medal for India at the Archery World Cup in Shanghai.
The video, originally posted by life coach Sudhir Puthran, shows Mr. Jawkar defeating World No. 1 Mike Schloesser of the Netherlands to snatch a first-ever World Cup gold medal. He had previously knocked out Korean duo Kim Jongho and Choi Yonghee and continued his mammoth killing spree to beat the Dutchman 149-148 in the composite men’s individual final, according to PTI.
Sharing the video, Mr Mahindra wrote, “Simply incredible. He seems to have nerves of steel and a laser-sharp focus. A champion in the making. You are right, @SudhirPuthran. I hadn’t heard from him until today, but will follow him from now on. I hope he triumphs in the final in Hermosillo in September. May he rise!”

The original message read: “This is the land where great warriors like Sri Rama, Arjuna and others used to roam with their bows and arrows. This country has completely neglected archery as a skill. How many of you have heard of 19 year old Prathamesh Samadhan Jawkar from India? He is the New World Champion at the ongoing 2023 Archery World Cup, Shanghai! What concentration and focus!
The post has been inundated with heartwarming comments from netizens who were inspired by the teen’s exceptional talent and wished him luck for upcoming tournaments.
One user wrote: ”I agree with Anand sir. Thank you, Sudhir ki for sending this talented boy. Best wishes to him in his upcoming tournaments.” Another wrote: “This is just a great result of years of dedication and determination. Bravo.”
A third said: ”Level of calmness and concentration, great.” A fourth wrote: ”Proud of you Prathamesh! India is proud of you! God bless you!”
A fifth wrote: “What an irony that a world champion needs a tweet from @anandmahindra Sir to be introduced to the world. Almost nobody knows him, no media attention, no accolades… he deserves better than this.”
