Neeraj Chopra and Pullela Gopichand launch Indian School of Coaching Excellence

Neeraj Chopra and Pullela Gopichand have launched the Indian School of Coaching Excellence (ISCE), a new initiative designed to strengthen India's sports ecosystem by professionalizing coach development.

In collaboration with the Neeraj Chopra Foundation, Badminton Gurukul, and AISTS INDIA, the ISCE will provide multidisciplinary programs. These curricula will integrate sports science, physical literacy, technology, sports education, and career development to meet the requirements of high-performance athletics.

The initiative aims to function as a collaborative knowledge-sharing platform, working alongside government bodies, the Sports Authority of India (SAI), sports federations, academic institutions, and the private sector. The goal is to combine global best practices with Indian experience to support the country's long-term success on the international sporting stage.
