Bengaluru, Jan 10 : From a small town named Ariyalur, about 350 kms from Chennai, in Tamil Nadu known for its limestone-rich soil and cement factories, S Karthi made a career choice of playing hockey.
Starting off young, Karthi s progress was swift. A series of strong performances for the hockey unit of Tamil Nadu in the Hockey India Junior National Championships saw him receive a call-up for India colts camp in 2018.
Currently part of the on-going national coaching camp for junior men, the forward from a difficult economic background understands very well that a successful career in hockey would ensure a job and financial stability back home for his family.
