आर्थिक तंगी और बचपन से ही सुन न पाने की वजह से अर्चना का सफर काफी चुनौतिपूर्ण रहा। उनके पिताजी चंद्रप्रकाश पांडेय एक सिक्योरिटी गार्ड हैं और उन्होंने शुरुआती दौर में अर्चना का बहुत इलाज कराया लेकिन पैसों की कमी और सकारात्मक परिणाम न मिलने से इलाज अधूरा रह गया। अर्चना ने स्कूल में गत्ते के टुकड़ों की मदद से टेबल-टेनिस खेलना शुरू किया और अपनी मेहनत से वह इकलौती ऐसी शख्सियत बन गईं, जिसने टेबल-टेनिस में वर्ष 2017 के ओलंपिक में प्रदेश का प्रतिनिधित्व किया है। वह अब तक राष्ट्रीय व अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर की प्रतियोगिताओं में कई पदक जीत कर कीर्तिमान स्थापित कर चुकी हैं।
उनका संर्घष ओलंपिक में देश का प्रतिनिधित्व करने के बाद निजी जीवन में भी जारी रहा। ओलंपिक में भाग लेने के बाद उनकी शादी हो गई और महज 5 महीनों में उनकी शादी टूट गई। अर्चना ने इसके बाद भी हिम्मत नहीं हारी और कोच पराग अग्रवाल और परिवार के सहयोग से खेल पर ध्यान देना शुरू कर दिया। जिसका परिणाम है कि वह एक बार फिर से देश का प्रतिनिधित्व करने जा रही हैं। उम्मीद है कि वह यहां भी मेडल जीतकर नए आयाम हासिल करेंगी।
