Born on 16th May, 1998 to Rajkumar Karan Vijay
Singh and Kunwarani Shweta Rathore, Bhanwar Janmejai Singh Rathore is
a direct descendant of Jodhpur’s founder. This royal house of the Rathore clan
of Rajputs traces its lineage to the Rashtrakuta solar dynasty from 8th century
AD. His family has been blessed with
many outstanding sportsmen and has established numerous noteworthy sports facilities

He has captained
the National Junior Cycle Polo team for Rajasthan, for 2 consecutive years. He

Janmejai to concentrate on shooting and polo.
At 10, Janmejai began competing in the
under-21 junior level shooting competition and won the bronze medal at
Rajasthan’s state level championship. He went on to qualify and win many
under-21 shooting competitions across 12 gauge shot gun, trap and double trap at
the state and the national level. Janmejai also became the youngest shooter to
make it to the distinguished category of ‘renowned shots’, 2 years in a row and
has been praised by the National Rifle Association of India and Government of
India for his skills. In the past 2 years, Janmejai has also trained under
the veteran coach Marcelo Leonardi in Italy.
Being the son of an avid Polo
player, Janmejai has developed spectacular skills in the royal sport.
He played as
Jodhpur at the Vreeland Club in Netherlands in the summer. He is a member of the prestigious Polo Club de Veytay in
Geneva and has also been trained by the old reputed Araya family.
