My Journey: From Skater to National Coach

My path on skates began at the age of five, and it has defined every chapter of my life since. By twelve, I was representing India at the 6th Asia Roller Skating Championship in Japan, and I have spent decades refining the discipline and focus required to perform at the highest levels.

When I founded the Esther Roller Skating Club (ERSC) in 2005 with 40 students, my goal was simple: to create a space where skaters could learn the craft properly. Today, we have grown into a family of over 10,000 students across Bangalore, training at our bases in St. Francis School, Koramangala, and PLaY Arena in Sarjapur.

I believe that success in skating is 20 percent on-skate skill and 80 percent mental toughness. My training programs focus on the fundamentals—aerodynamic posture, weight transfer, and race tactics—that helped me secure my own Masters National Champion title. I personally oversee the curriculum for everything from recreational skating to elite championship preparation, including specialized mentorship for children with special needs.

I don't believe in quick fixes. Whether we are training for speed, alpine, or ice disciplines, I push my students to practice as if they have never won and perform as if they have never lost. If you are ready to put in the work, I am ready to guide you.
