About

Skating changed my life, and yeah, it’s tough to reach the top, especially in India where cricket rules everything. But I fought for my spot, and now I want to help others do the same. If you come to me, expect hard work and a lot of passion - no shortcuts. I bring all my experience from Team India to every single lesson.

How We Train: From Kids to Champions

• Kids as young as 3 can start with us. Our kids roller skating classes in Bengaluru are broken up by age so it’s never boring or overwhelming.
• Summer roller skating camp Bangalore happens every April and May - perfect for newbies, or anyone wanting to level up fast.
• Regular classes run June to March. Some of my skaters end up on the national circuit, but everyone trains with the same focus.

For those chasing medals, I push advanced skating drills for competitions. We use dry-land skating exercises like slide boards, and parachute training to build speed and power. I’m always on the rink shouting “Innondu round!” (one more round) - you’ll get used to it!

Where We Skate

We practice in namma Bengaluru at rinks in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and JP Nagar.

My Team

Swathi, my wife, runs the academy and keeps everything on track. She’s the backbone here, and together we make sure every skater gets the attention they need.
