My Story
At PBI, we’re not just about tennis, ya. We’re a proper Bangalore family - all sweat, jokes, and crazy dreams. Some days it’s a little kid learning to swing, other days it’s our high-performers heading out to play for India. We’ve cheered for folks like Sahaja, who hustled hard, did odd jobs, and made it to WTA Top-300. We believe in bouncing back, fighting for every point, and keeping it real. That’s our vibe, for anyone who shows up.
My Work
Coaching for All Levels - We train everyone - junior tennis coaching, pros, and even wheelchair tennis training. Beginners to champs, all welcome.
World-Class Facilities - Our covered tennis courts in Bangalore mean you play, rain or shine. No excuses, just tennis.
Preparing for Victory - We get you ready for UTR, AITA, ITF tournaments. Some go on to represent India, like at BRICS Games.
Building Character - It’s not just about a killer backhand. We focus on character building through tennis. Grit matters.
Learning from the Best - Pro players drop by, share stories, give real advice. Our students get to see what it takes, up close.
