“I’ve always wanted to give back to the sport of badminton, which has given me so much. I sought to collaborate with like-minded, passionate individuals who possess a deep understanding of badminton and uphold the highest professional standards. I was genuinely impressed by the methodical approach taken in coaching prospective talent and nurturing their progress,” said Saina.

She joins fellow compatriots Parupalli Kashyap, a Commonwealth Gold Medallist and Olympian, and Indian badminton player RMV Gurusai Dutt, a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist, in this exciting venture, creating a formidable team of mentors dedicated to the growth of the sport in India.
