The Untold Truth of Women in Sport ft. Aditi Mutatkar & Mihira Khopkar | Ep 4 | Beyond the Podium

In Episode 4 of Beyond the Podium, host Enakshi Rajvanshi is joined by Aditi Mutatkar, a badminton player and Commonwealth Games medallist, alongside Mihira Khopkar, one of India’s leading sports nutritionists. Together, they dive deep into what it truly means to be a woman in Indian sport.

From the stigma around menstruation and lack of research in female athlete health, to the personal toll of injuries and early retirement, this conversation is raw, honest, and overdue. Aditi opens up about navigating systemic bias and the emotional cost of elite sport; meanwhile, Mihira sheds light on the significant knowledge gaps in sports nutrition, especially when it comes to supporting young and developing athletes.

This is not just a podcast episode, it’s a wake-up call.
