Early Life and Background

Born into a modest working-class family in Thergaon (a suburb of Pune), Ajit's father initially worked as a long-haul truck driver before the family settled in Pune when Ajit was about 4-5 years old. Due to the physical toll of driving, his father shifted to running a vegetable-selling business at Dange Chowk, where Ajit and his mother also helped out. Financial challenges were common, and after finishing 10th grade, Ajit took on multiple jobs to support his family while training in kabaddi. These included construction work, event staffing at weddings, and even delivering for Blinkit (with his office in Balewadi—ironically, the same ground where he later played professionally for U Mumba). His family initially opposed his kabaddi ambitions due to injury risks, but supportive coaches helped convince them.

Ajit's sports journey started at age 5 with kickboxing training, which he pursued until around 7. In 7th grade, he switched to kabaddi after seeing his school friends play, starting casually but soon getting serious. He initially played as a left-corner defender before transitioning to raiding at the SAI Sports Academy in Thergaon, leveraging his lower-body strength and agility from kickboxing.
