Goa Carbon Brand Ambassador and Asian Under 18 Girls Chess Champion
Bhakti Kulkarni is honoured by National Carrier Air India which offered
the Goan girl a seat on their star studded team in the ongoing National
Team Chess Championship at Kochi,Kerala.
"This is a great honour to play in India's strongest woman team," Bhakti
said before her departure to Kochi. Air India has four Woman GMs in
their team. "And I am yet to become a WGM," exclaims the Goan star. She
is offered a scholarship by Air India which means that Bhakti will have
free travel wherever Air India flies.
Bhakti has never played in National Team Chess Championships before."
Air India offered me a scholarship - not sponsorship. I have to assist
Air India in Team Championships like National Team Championship, Public
Sector, Inter Institution, etc", explained the student of Chougule
College, Madgao.
The top seeds Air India steamrolled hosts Kerala by 4-0 margin aided by
Bhakti's quick win over Internationally rated S.G.Archana.
