Batra signed an endorsement deal with German sportswear giant Adidas “to empower women and enable them to see possibilities in the world of sports”.

Owing to her ‘Impossible Is Nothing’ attitude, Manika is now a part of Adidas’ rich roster of women athletes, which consists of some outstanding sportswomen in their respective fields such as Mirabai Chanu, Lovlina Borgohain, Hima Das and Nikhat Zareen.
