OUR STORY
During his stay in the US, our founder, Kaustubh Virkar noticed a big difference in the way our country and the West approached sports and fitness. His realisation of the lack of professional sports coaching and management services combined with his deep-rooted passion for sports and fitness led him to founding Sportified. We were founded with a singular goal in mind – To give an opportunity to anyone who wanted to be an athlete and help steer them in the direction of achieving new milestones in sports and fitness.
