JKC Sports has officially made its entry into India’s fast-evolving sports ecosystem, signalling a bold and long-term commitment to strengthening the country’s sporting culture.

His co-founder, Madhav Singhania, who brings deep expertise in sports planning, talent structures, and infrastructure development, emphasised the role of sport in national progress:
“JKC Sports is founded on the belief that sport can be transformational and contribute to the cause of nation-building. We aim to build structured pathways, fuel ambition among young athletes, and contribute to India’s evolving global sporting profile.”
Madhav currently serves as President of the UP Squash Rackets Association, where he has been instrumental in driving grassroots access and competitive participation.
