A well-known Indian para-athlete, Deepa Malik has broken new ground in the para-sports industry by conquering severe physical obstacles to achieve international acclaim. She offers an inspirational tale of perseverance, tenacity, and victory in her path from hardship to achievement. Her early diagnosis of a spine tumor, which left her paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair, occurred when she was born in Haryana, India. In spite of these obstacles, Deepa Malik refused to let her physical state to dictate how she lived. Rather, she turned hardship into a chance to break down social stereotypes about handicap and flourish in athletics.

This Paper examines Deepa Malik's career development, looking at the obstacles she overcame, significant turning points that shaped her career, and the networks of support that helped her succeed. Her story is characterized by tenacity and persistent dedication, from her early mobility issues to her ascent to prominence as a global sports legend. Her remarkable talent and mental toughness are demonstrated by her para-athletic accomplishments, which include taking home a silver medal in the shot put at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.

This study also explores the influence of her work outside of the athletics world.
