We’re Catch64 Chess Academy, and chess is kinda our heartbeat. Not just a game—more like a way of seeing the world, you know? Our coaches, Arvind and Ojas, they’ve played all over, but here it’s about building a family. Nothing beats watching a kid nail a tough puzzle or a girl smashing stereotypes as a #ChessQueen. Bangalore is home, but our real pride? Seeing students fall in love with those 64 squares.
