I focus on getting your fundamentals right—from flat shots to fast footwork. If you are ready for serious training to become a champion, let’s get on the court.

This is my coaching style. No sugarcoating, just direct feedback to fix your technique. We focus on hitting the shuttle flat and fast, building the right habits from day one. Quick, quick, quick, that's the pace we keep.

I believe in leading by example. Here I am with fellow coaches at the Coaches Development Program in Bangalore, always learning to become a better coach for my players.

As part of my own development, I participated in stretching and yoga sessions to better understand the physical needs of my athletes.

Learning from the best. Watching a demonstration during the Coaches Development Program helps me bring advanced techniques back to my academy.

Listening intently during a lecture at the development program. Gaining knowledge from esteemed professionals is key to my growth as a coach.

Observing a multi-shuttle drill demonstration. It's a great opportunity to refine the drills we use at our own academy.

Participating in warm-up drills with other coaches. It's important to practice what we preach.

A group photo with the talented coaches from the development program. It was a transformative experience that has made me a better coach.

As a national-level player and the founder of Navodaya, I am deeply involved in every player's journey. Here I am testing the new Yonex Astrox 88D Pro, ensuring we always use the best equipment to train our athletes.

A day well spent testing the new Astrox 88S and 88D racquets. I am always looking for the best gear to give my players an edge.

About Meet the Coach

I won’t sugarcoat your mistakes because that doesn't help you win points. Whether it’s correcting a V-grip or fixing your footwork, I give direct feedback the moment I see it on the court. You will find me demonstrating the movement myself and calling out 'Quick, quick, quick!' until your muscle memory catches up. If you hit the shuttle from below, I will tell you to hit it flat, right then and there.
