Jyothi Surekha Vennam was instrumental in India's compound team clinching two medals at the Archery World Cup. It’s been an eventful year so far for Jyothi Surekha Vennam , one of India’s best compound archers. Last month, she teamed up with Abhishek Verma to win bronze at the Archery World Cup (Stage 1) in Shanghai.

The 21-year-old, however, called off the strike after receiving assurances from government officials. The off-field distraction did little to dampen Jyothi’s spirits though, especially in the run-up to the ongoing World Cup (Stage 2) in Antalya. The young archer continued her impressive form and found the cool and windy climes in Antalya much to her liking. Consequently, she was instrumental in India...

Four Indian seafood companies are trying to cash in on the booming shrimp exports by going for an IPO.
