India has a million cricket dreams.
We're here for the other ones.

A family foundation backing the kids who chose something different — the runners, the swimmers, the wrestlers, the badminton players, the footballers — and building the pathways their sport doesn't yet have.

Every photograph here is somebody's future Olympian — if the pathway exists.

Across India · Every state · Every sport that isn't cricket

Every Indian sport that isn't cricket shares one truth — the talent is there. The pathway isn't.

~85%

Of India's sporting infrastructure investment that flows to a single sport.

The Imbalance
17

The age at which most non-cricket Indian athletes drop out — not from lack of talent, but lack of support.

The Attrition
1.4B

A nation of 1.4 billion fields a small fraction of the Olympic team it could. The bottleneck is access, not ability.

The Opportunity
We don't pick the sport. We pick the kid — and then we build everything around theirs.
— Operating Principle

Four pieces. One pathway. Each kid gets all of them.

01 · Coaching

The right coach, at the right age

Access to certified coaches, sport-specific training, and the kind of long-term development that turns raw talent into competitive ability. We pair kids with coaches in their region — and bring in specialists when the sport demands it.

02 · Equipment

Gear that doesn't hold them back

The right racket, the right shoes, the right kit. Proper equipment isn't a luxury at competitive levels — it's the difference between progression and a ceiling. We fund what the family can't.

03 · Education

The dream and the degree

School fees, tutoring around training schedules, and academic continuity through travel and competition. No kid we back ever has to choose between their sport and their education.

04 · Pathways

A line of sight to the top

Identification with state academies, exposure to national selectors, international competition where it matters. We don't promise outcomes — we promise that the doors that should be open will be.

Where India can compete with anyone — given the chance.

We deliberately go broad because India is broad. A swimmer in Pune, an archer in Jharkhand, a kabaddi player in Haryana, a footballer in Manipur — each one is a national-level athlete waiting for a pathway. We build those.

+ Any sport where an Indian kid has shown the talent and lacks the path

From a kid in a village school — to a name on a national jersey.

Stage 01

Identified

Through coaches, schools, family referrals. A kid with promise gets noticed.

Stage 02

Backed

Full support package — coaching, kit, education, family logistics. No gaps.

Stage 03

Integrated

Into school academies, sport-specific clubs, district and state competition.

Stage 04

Exposed

National camps, age-group selectors, age-grade international exposure.

Stage 05

Launched

A career, an Olympic shot, a coaching path. The point is they had the chance.

Built quietly, by a family that knows what it takes to back a young athlete against the odds.

Seths Sports Foundation is a private family initiative — not a corporate vehicle, not a tax shelter, not a brand exercise. It exists because supporting a child's sporting ambition is one of the most expensive, complicated, faith-based investments a family can make. And most Indian families can't make it alone.

We know this because we've lived it — coaching fees, travel, the equipment upgrades that arrive every season, the trade-offs against schooling. We had the means to navigate it. Most don't. The foundation is our attempt to remove that asymmetry for kids whose talent deserves the same shot.
