Why we exist
To professionalise circle kabaddi in India and take it to national and international levels — creating opportunities, building champions, and inspiring the next generation.
The problem
Circle kabaddi has players, crowds and a century of history. What it lacks is everything around the game: a fixture calendar, a way for a talented player in a small town to be seen, money that reaches the ground rather than stopping at the top, and records that let anyone prove what happened at an event.
Indoor kabaddi solved this with a league and broadcast money. The circle game never got that, so it stayed local — strong in the villages that play it, invisible everywhere else.
Our approach
We start at the level the game is actually played: one-day events on school and college grounds, funded by the Foundation rather than by sponsors we don't have yet. Every event is documented properly, so a track record exists before we ask anyone for money.
From there it scales the same way it started — more cities, then structured state tournaments, then a professional league with a real season. Slow on purpose, and provable at every step.
Our values
The same five things the founders were trained on as athletes, now applied to how the Foundation is run.
- Teamwork
- Discipline
- Excellence
- Unity
- Nation first
