01Seven years at Navodaya
We studied together for seven years at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Bengaluru — from 6th standard to 12th. Sport wasn’t optional. It was how we lived: cricket, football, kabaddi, kho-kho, basketball, volleyball, table tennis. We played every single day. Navodaya taught us discipline, friendship, and a simple truth — when sport is part of your week, everything else feels lighter.
02We never really stopped playing
After we passed out, we still met whenever we could — cricket one weekend, football the next. Then pickleball arrived. We started playing, then we couldn’t stop. Twice most weekends we travelled a long distance just to get on court, meet, and have fun. Those trips weren’t only about the game. They were about staying us.
03So we decided to build
We wanted our own place — not another court you visit, play, and leave. We wanted a hub where beginners feel welcome, where coaching helps you start, where open play keeps you coming back, and where tournaments push you when you’re ready. From children to older players, everyone should find a game here. That’s why Namma Pickleball Hub exists in Bagalagunte, North Bangalore.
04What we believe
Other places can be transactional. We’re trying to build something closer to what Navodaya gave us: sport as a habit, community as the reward. Pickleball is for everyone. Stress leaves when you play. Friends arrive when you show up. Our motto is simple — make sport accessible to every single person, and help them keep it in their week.
Our motto
Sports should be accessible to everyone. Every week.
Come play. Leave the stress. Find your people. Make friends the way we did — through sport. We’ll be on court with you.
