GoSports Foundation Supports 13 Indian Athletes in Paris Olympics
Nikhat Zareen, Chirag-Satwik, and Lakshya Sen, three promising Indian athletes, are among the 13 receiving support from the GoSports Foundation in Paris. Founded by former tennis player Deepthi Bopaiah, the foundation aims to empower athletes and foster their Olympic aspirations.
Bopaiah, the CEO of GoSports, has been actively involved in the Paris Olympics, cheering on Indian athletes and exploring opportunities for future growth. While Sen narrowly missed a medal in badminton singles, the other athletes made significant progress in their respective events.
GoSports played a pivotal role in pairing Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddyy, who were previously playing with different doubles partners. “Doubles can make a big difference in tournaments like the Thomas Cup and Olympics,” said Bopaiah, emphasizing the importance of strategic partnerships.
The foundation supports athletes across various disciplines, including sailing, shooting, athletics, and table tennis. “We provide comprehensive support, including physios, coaches, sports psychologists, and nutritionists,” said Bopaiah. “Our goal is to create role models and inspire the people of India.”
While medals are a coveted outcome, Bopaiah believes that the journey and effort of each athlete should be celebrated. “The process and systems we put in place will ultimately lead to success,” she said. “That’s how we approach our work in sports.”
