Actor and fitness enthusiast Saiyami Kher has been officially named the brand ambassador for Ironman India, following her remarkable achievement of completing the Ironman 70.3 triathlon twice within a span of less than 12 months. This feat makes her the first Indian actor to accomplish the challenging race twice in such a short period.
Saiyami completed her first Ironman 70.3 in September 2024, followed by her second in July 2025. The Half Ironman race spans 70.3 miles (approximately 113 km) and includes a 1.9 km swim, a 90 km cycle, and a 21.1 km run, all completed consecutively on the same day.
The Ironman International Committee recognised her consistency and spirit, honouring her with the position of the face of Ironman India, an accolade reserved for individuals who exemplify perseverance, resilience, and the ethos of endurance sports.
Speaking about her appointment, Saiyami said, “I’m truly honoured and excited to be the face of Ironman India, which takes place in Goa on the 9th of November. This journey represents everything I believe in—passion, consistency, and the refusal to give up. Completing the Ironman 70.3 twice in less than a year wasn’t about chasing records; it was about challenging my own limits. Every swim stroke, every uphill ride, every step of the run reminded me of how much the human body and mind are capable of.”
She added, “For me, Ironman isn’t just a race, it’s a mindset, a way of life. I’ve always loved pushing boundaries whether in sport or as an actor, and I hope my journey can inspire more Indians, especially women, to embrace endurance sports. It makes me so happy to see the growth in participation from Indians each year, and it’s heartening to watch this community grow stronger. The joy, resilience, and self-belief that come with it are life-changing. Representing Ironman India feels like a full-circle moment, and I’m deeply grateful to be part of a community that celebrates strength, determination, and perseverance.”
