People think skating is just a hobby, but on the ice, every move counts. I’ve taken my Team India experience from Gulmarg to Singapore, and now I bring those exact international techniques to our rinks in Bengaluru.

My expertise covers both roller and ice skating. This was a special moment, winning two gold medals and my 9th national champion title at the 15th Ice Skating Nationals in Gulmarg.

A proud moment for India. This collage captures my first international medals at the SEA GAMES South East Asian Championship in Singapore, where I won two silvers and a bronze in short track ice skating.

About International Ice Skating Experience

The transition from roller to ice is not just about the surface. When I train my students, I teach them to master their center of gravity and edge control, the same skills I refined while winning my 9th national title. You aren't just learning to skate; you are learning the biomechanics of speed that I use at the international level.

In India, people see skating and think it’s just a weekend activity. But when you step onto the ice, every mistake is amplified. My journey started with rollers, but my heart found its rhythm on the ice. Winning golds at the 15th Nationals in Gulmarg and bringing home medals from the SEA Games in Singapore taught me one thing: technique is king.

We don't just teach 'how to skate.' We use dry-land drills—slide boards, parachute resistance, and core conditioning—to simulate ice conditions right here in our Namma Bengaluru rinks. Whether you are a beginner or looking to compete, I translate these international methods into simple steps. Innondu round (one more round) is our mantra because that is how we break the barrier between a participant and a champion.

My team in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and JP Nagar operates on one principle: grit. My wife Swathi ensures every student gets personal attention, while I push the competitive skaters to think about their aerodynamics and posture. If you want to train with someone who has actually been on the podium representing India, let's talk. We turn potential into performance, one stride at a time.
