Early life and backgroundTulika Maan was born on 9 September 1998 in New Delhi and grew up in the Jharoda Kalan neighbourhood. She was raised primarily by her mother, Amrita Maan, who worked as a police sub‑inspector. Tulika’s father, Satbir Maan, was a bus driver and died when Tulika was two years old. She has a younger sister named Vanshika Maan.
Tulika attended Kendriya Vidyalaya in Tagore Garden, New Delhi, and later enrolled at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University. From an early age she preferred physical activity to academics and developed a strong interest in sport. Her mother enrolled her in a judo club so she would have supervised activities after school; what began as a pastime soon became Tulika’s chosen path.
Career
Tulika competes in judo and is best known for winning a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in the women’s +78 kg division. Her progression through junior and senior national and international ranks included a series of podium finishes at youth and national events.

Tulika trained under coach Yashpal Solanki and received support from the Sports Authority of India after she was admitted to the SAI centre in Bhopal in 2016.
