Their consistency has delivered India regular podium finishes and helped raise the profile of the sport at home. Both have also emerged as role models for young shooters in academies across Haryana, Telangana and other states.

Motivating the Future 
Coaches say that since Esha and Manu began winning internationally, entries in shooting academies have gone up. 

A national coach said: “Girls see them and think they can do it as well. “That’s the most impact.

The success also showed how targeted support, improved infrastructure and international exposure were helping Indian athletes compete with the best.

Looking Ahead to Future Competitions
Both shooters are training for World Cups coming up and the next Olympic cycle. The focus is on developing technique and consistency in both the air pistol and 25m disciplines.

Fans and experts are still hopeful that the duo will add more medals to India’s tally in the months ahead.
