He said, I used to stay in a joint family then and had three cousins of almost similar to my age. Once, someone bought badminton racquets for them, but not for me. I felt very bad and cried a lot. My mother felt bad and gave me 10 rupees, using which I bought a small secondhand racquet for myself..In his school days, till 11th grade, he played inter-school competitions against able-bodied players. In 2011, he started playing in para-badminton championships.He hails from a modest background in Uttarakhand, India.In an interview with the Bridge, Manoj narrated that in 2011, he won two medals at para-badminton national championships in Bangalore.

My mother put our house on a mortgage so that I could follow my dream, even though she was a cancer patient. The GoSports Foundation helped me out as well then; I am still grateful to them and am proud that I am still associated with them. This is how my journey in international para-badminton started, and I have won around 47 medals now at the highest level.
