Sanjana's full bio:

(last updated 2026-01-26

Sanjana Dandu is an Australian karting competitor who, alongside her twin sister Sujana, has been making waves in the junior racing scene across Asia-Pacific since 2023. Born on May 19, 2012, she’s one half of a dynamic duo proving that sisterhood and fierce competition can coexist—at least until the visor drops.

EARLY YEARS

Born in Perth, Australia on May 19, 2012, Sanjana and her twin sister Sujana moved to Singapore in 2020 for their education. The twins do virtually everything together—reading, attending the same school, sharing the same interests—but their father, Suman Dandu, introduced them to karting during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to keep them active and engaged. What started as a lockdown hobby quickly became a serious pursuit. By early 2024, at just 11 years old, the Dandu sisters became the first drivers to join the newly formed talent management unit of Legion of Racers (LOR), a Singapore-based esports and motorsports organization committed to nurturing young talent.

OTHER INTERESTS

When she’s not strapped into a kart, Sanjana enjoys reading and spending downtime with her twin sister. The two share a close bond off-track, balancing their academic commitments in Singapore with the demands of a growing racing career. Interestingly, Sanjana also participated in the Singapore Marathon 2025, demonstrating her dedication to fitness and endurance beyond motorsports.

EARLY SUCCESS

Sanjana’s competitive debut came in 2023 when she entered the IAME Series Asia in the Cadet category. By mid-2024, she and Sujana were representing Singapore at the Asia Pacific Karting Championship held at the KF1 Karting Circuit in Singapore—a milestone event marking their first major championship debut. Despite their close relationship, the sisters were clear: on track, sisterhood takes a backseat. Their performances throughout 2024 in various junior categories, including the Australian Kart Championship and the INF1NITY IAME Series Asia, showcased their rapid development and competitive spirit. Racing for CXR Racing with FA Kart and Kart Republic chassis, Sanjana began to build a reputation as a determined and technically improving driver.

REPUTATION

Sanjana has earned a reputation as a focused and hardworking young competitor who refuses to let her close relationship with her twin sister soften her competitive edge. Within the Legion of Racers program, she’s recognized as a promising talent benefiting from expert coaching, high-performance training, and state-of-the-art racing technology under the guidance of seasoned professionals like Melvin Moh. Her participation in high-profile programs like the F1 Academy-supported Champions of the Future Karting Academy has positioned her as a rising name in junior karting across Asia-Pacific. The media has taken note of the Dandu sisters’ unique dynamic—two girls who are best friends off-track but unapologetically competitive when helmets go on.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Sanjana continues to compete in the 2025 season with the support of Legion of Racers, focusing on the Champions of the Future Karting Academy, ROK Cup Singapore, and select rounds of the Australian Kart Championship. The team’s priority is preparing her for continued success in the IAME Series Asia Championship and other regional competitions while developing her racecraft and consistency. With LOR’s backing—including advanced coaching, performance analysis, and cutting-edge racing technology—the plan is to keep building her experience in junior categories with an eye toward stepping up to higher-level competition in the coming years.
