With the Paris Olympics set to start on the 26th of this month, we kick off our special Olympics series, Pod of the Rings. Mihir Vasava, Amit Kamath, and Vinayakk Mohanarangan will bring you a comprehensive look at the games, including highlights, in-depth discussions, and event recaps.

We begin this week with a three-part preview of what’s at stake for India and the challenges that lie ahead for our contingent. Each part of the preview will explore the aspirations and hurdles aligned with the Olympic motto — Faster, Higher, Stronger.
