“We are not just focused on healing their ailments. We are more concerned with their recovery process and how much stress they can apply to their joints once they are healed, as well as how much they can push themselves. 

“We chose Sivasangari for the launch today because of her resilience and she has been a huge inspiration for the nation after recovering from her injury.
