Sachdev's competitive record is marked by consistent excellence at the national and continental levels. Winning the Indian championship twice in a row at age 20, then adding the Asian title, showed remarkable early promise. Her three consecutive Commonwealth titles from 2016 to 2019 demonstrate sustained dominance in that competition. As a broadcaster, she has become a trailblazer, helping to popularise chess in India and beyond. The 2026 Sportstar Aces Award recognised her dual contributions, placing her alongside some of India's most celebrated sportswomen.
