Chetan Korada

Chetan Korada, born on November 14, 1986, is an inspirational Indian racing driver who has carved a unique place for himself in motorsport. Hailing from India, Chetan holds the distinction of being the first driver in the world to win a race using synthetic feet. He is also the first in Asia, and only the second worldwide after former Formula One driver Alex Zanardi, to compete in motorsports with prosthetic limbs. Having been born with a deformity, he underwent bi-lateral amputation at a very young age.

Korada's racing journey began in 2007, and he has since participated in numerous championships. Some of his achievements include winning the 2009 MMSC Summer Cup Championship (Class-FISSME) with five victories out of six races and securing a first-place finish in a round of the JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship. In 2015, he was the MRF FMSCI National Racing Runner-up Champion (Formula 1300 Class). Chetan has also taken on the role of instructor for the Nissan PS3 GT Academy India.

Chetan's story is one of passion, perseverance, and breaking barriers. He competes using a standard car, without modifications to accommodate his prosthetics, highlighting his commitment to fair competition. His mother has been a constant source of support, encouraging his dreams despite any perceived limitations. He stands as an inspiration to racers and anyone pursuing their dreams against the odds.
