SRM University-AP, Amaravati, is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Ms Budde Shanumukhi Naga Sai, a first-year B.Com student from the Paari School of Business, who has brought global recognition to the University by breaking two world records and winning three silver medals at the Singapore 2025 Asia Cup Leg 2.
She set a new world record in the Under-21 Women Team (50m Compound) category with a score of 2101, surpassing the previous record of 2076, and also established a new world record in the Under-21 Mixed Team (50m Compound) category with a score of 1420, edging past the earlier record of 1419.
In addition to these record-breaking performances, Shanumukhi clinched three silver medals in the Individual Compound Women, Compound Mixed Team, and Compound Women Team events, solidifying her position as a rising star in international archery.
Reflecting on her success, Shanumukhi shared, “I am truly grateful and proud that my hard work has paid off. This achievement feels surreal, but it has come after navigating through intense pressure and challenging phases. Archery is not just a sport; it’s a game of the mind that demands immense mental strength and control.”
She added, “I believe that individuals with mental resilience and physical discipline can thrive in this game, as it presents limitless opportunities. Women, in particular, have immense potential to break boundaries and reach even greater heights in this field.”
Shanumukhi has been practicing archery for over seven years with a disciplined daily routine starting at 5:00 AM and continuing until 7:00 PM, encompassing both fitness training and skill practice.
Earlier this year, she secured third place in the 44th Junior National Tournament and 41st Sub Junior National Tournament in team, individual, and mixed categories, which were held in Bholpur, West Bengal, and Jaipur, Rajasthan, respectively.
Mr Anup Singh Suryavanshi, Director – Sports, added, “Shanumukhi’s achievement is truly inspirational. It reflects her dedication, resilience, and the sporting spirit we strive to foster at SRM-AP. We are committed to providing all the necessary support to help our athletes reach greater heights.”
