Bringing laurels to his birthplace, seven-year-old equestrian prodigy Adwait Satpathy Chakraverty, born in the steel city, has earned a place in the prestigious India Book of Records for securing the maximum number of accolades in equestrian competitions by a child.
Currently based in Hyderabad, Adwait has earned an impressive 35 accolades, comprising 17 medals — five gold, six silver and six bronze — and 18 rosettes through his performances in competitive horse riding.
He received his India Book of Records certificate and medal last week, marking a proud milestone for the young rider and his family, whose roots remain firmly connected to Jamshedpur.
Adwait, a Class II student of Nasr Boys School, Hyderabad, began his equestrian journey at the age of three. He currently trains at Nasr Polo under the guidance of experienced coaches and has demonstrated remarkable confidence and skill in show jumping, successfully negotiating courses featuring obstacles ranging from 45 cm to 90 cm.
Among his notable appearances was the Embassy Premier League at the Embassy International Riding School in Bengaluru in July 2026, where he competed in the 60–70 cm and 80–90 cm show-jumping categories, representing Nasr Polo.
He secured several medals in Telangana equestrian competitions and intercity events. His record was confirmed on September 28, 2026, when he was seven years, 10 months and two days old.
Adwait’s achievement carries a special emotional significance for Jamshedpur. His maternal grandfather, T K Satpathy, served as a senior biochemist at Tata Motors Hospital for nearly 35 years, while his maternal grandmother, Prabhati Mishra, served in the Jharkhand Education Department. His mother, Anwesha Satpathy, is an alumna of Little Flower School, Jamshedpur.
Anwesha, who works with a multinational company (MNC) in Hyderabad, said the recognition was an immensely emotional moment for the family. Adwait’s father, Rudra Prasad Chakraverty, is also employed with an MNC in Hyderabad.
“Jamshedpur will always remain very special to us. Adwait was born here, his grandfather devoted nearly 35 years of service to Tata Motors Hospital, and I completed my schooling at Little Flower School. Receiving the India Book of Records certificate and medal last week was an unforgettable moment. We are delighted that our son’s achievement has brought recognition to a city with which our family shares such a deep bond. We are grateful to his coaches and mentors at Nasr Polo for nurturing his passion,” Anwesha said, talking to The Guardian Chronicle over the phone from Hyderabad.
