Breaking Barriers with Skates: The Story of Jewel Paul and his Prodigy Spirit

Breaking Barriers with Skates: The Story of Jewel Paul and his Prodigy Spirit

In the hilly state of Tripura, nestled in the northeast of India, a young man named is redefining resilience and hope. Skating may not be a mainstream sport in India, but for Jewel, it’s more than just a passion—it’s a means to empower and uplift underprivileged children.

Jewel's story is one of grit, determination, and an unyielding commitment to his community. Born and raised in Tripura, Jewel moved to Kolkata to pursue a better future. However, life threw him a curveball when his father's health began to deteriorate. Without hesitation, Jewel returned to his roots to care for his family. But instead of giving up on his dreams, he chose to adapt and make a difference.

Tripura, with its remote terrain and limited accessibility, faces numerous challenges. In many parts of the state, delivery services and even basic pin-code coverage are unavailable, making it difficult for residents to access resources and opportunities. Yet, despite these barriers, Jewel managed to not only keep his passion for skating alive but also share it with the children.

With limited resources and minimal equipment, Jewel began teaching skating to children in Tripura. These children, many of whom come from underprivileged backgrounds, found not just a mentor in Jewel but also a role model who teaches them the art of balance—not just on skates, but in life. His determination to bring joy and hope to these kids, even in the face of challenges, epitomises what it means to be a Prodigy.

PRDGY, we believe in celebrating individuals who embrace their inner strength and inspire others to rise above difficult circumstances. That’s why we are proud to collaborate with Jewel Paul, a true #Prodigy in every sense of the word.

Through his efforts, Jewel is bringing the joy of skating to a region where the sport is virtually unknown. He’s not just teaching these children a skill; he’s giving them the courage to dream, to fall and rise again, and to embrace challenges with open arms.

At PRDGY, we stand for those who refuse to give up, those who turn adversity into opportunity, and those who redefine what it means to thrive. Jewel Paul embodies that spirit. His journey is a reminder that being a Prodigy isn’t about fame or recognition—it’s about the courage to keep going when the odds are against you.

We’re honoured to support Jewel and his mission. His story inspires us to continue creating bold designs and spreading the message that PRDGY is not just a brand; it’s a way of life.

Let’s celebrate Jewel Paul, the Prodigy of Tripura, who reminds us that even in the most difficult times, one can find balance, purpose, and the strength to empower others.
