Sreeja Akula, born on July 31, 1998, in Hyderabad, India, has emerged as a leading figure in Indian table tennis. Her early life saw her immersed in the sport, with both her father and elder sister actively playing. Sreeja began her training at a young age, starting at St Paul’s Academy at nine, continuing at YMCA, and later refining her skills under coach Somnath Ghosh in Kukatpally. She pursued her education diligently, achieving high marks in her intermediate studies before graduating with a commerce degree. Her dedication to both academics and sports laid the foundation for her successful career.
Akula’s professional career began to flourish with significant achievements at both national and international levels. In 2019, she secured gold medals in the Women’s Doubles and Women’s Team events at the South Asian Games. A major breakthrough came in April 2022 when she won both the women’s singles and doubles titles at the 83rd Senior National and Inter-State Table Tennis Championships, solidifying her position as a top national player. The same year, she achieved international recognition by winning a gold medal in the mixed doubles event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games alongside Sharath Kamal. Her consistent performance led to her receiving the Arjuna Award in 2022, a prestigious honor in Indian sports.
Her career continued its upward trajectory into 2024, marked by several historic wins. In January 2024, Sreeja won her maiden WTT singles career title at the WTT Feeder Corpus Christi in Texas, followed by another singles title at the WTT Feeder Beirut II in March 2024. A significant milestone was achieved in June 2024 when she became the first Indian to win a singles title at the WTT Contender level by clinching the WTT Contender Lagos. At this event, she also secured the women’s doubles title with Archana Kamath. These victories propelled her to a career-best world No. 24 ranking in table tennis, making her the top-ranked Indian woman in the sport and a member of the Indian table tennis team for the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she became the second Indian paddler to reach the Pre-Quarterfinals.
