Actor and athlete Saiyami Kher has been named the official face of Ironman India after completing the Ironman 70.3 triathlon twice within a year. She is the only Indian actor to complete the race twice in this time frame.

Saiyami completed her first Ironman 70.3 in September 2024 and the second in July 2025. The race covers 70.3 miles, including 1.9 km of swimming, 90 km of cycling, and 21.1 km of running, all on the same day. She was appointed by the Ironman International Committee as the face of the India edition.

Commenting on the 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.

“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,” she added.

As the Brand Ambassador, Saiyami Kher aims to encourage more Indians to take up endurance sports and promote fitness and mental resilience.
