TIDA Sports, a Chandigarh-based multi-sports training & coaching platform, has raised ₹3 crore in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (TDV).
The funds raised will be used to widen its footprint across five states and 30 cities, working closely with 200 schools as it aims to bring quality sports training to over one lakh students. The funding will also be used to upgrade its technology, strengthen its B2B operations, bring more coaches on board, and scale up its on-ground marketing efforts.
Founded in 2023 by Adit Goel (CEO), Sumeet Malik (CTO), Priyansh Matta (COO) and Sanchit Budhiraja (CBO), TIDA Sports works through partnerships with schools and collaborations with local sports body academies, making sports venues, world-class coaching, and exhilarating tournaments accessible to all.
It has collaborated with schools such as GD Goenka, DPS, DAV and Aravali to run and enhance their sports programs.
As of now, it has organised more than 100 tournaments and has helped develop players who have represented their states and the country in elite-level championships. The company has been recognised by My FM and Times Power Icon for its work in sports tech.
At present, TIDA Sports operates across Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana with training centers in Rishikesh, Haridwar, Dehradun, Chandigarh tricity, Patiala, Jalandhar, Ambala, Amritsar, Ludhiana and Ferozepur.
With more than 150 academies and a rapidly growing student base, the company is now gearing up to enter major cities across India with the larger goal of building a strong and accessible sports development network across the country.
Ankur Mittal, Co-founder of IPV, said, “The sports ecosystem in India remains fragmented, with limited access to quality coaching, infrastructure, and even basic equipment. As a result, many talented students drop out early, especially with academics being prioritised at home. But sports isn’t just about creating future champions who can fuel India’s ambition of becoming a marquee sporting nation, it’s equally about raising healthier kids and reducing their screen time. It builds discipline, confidence and overall well-being. TIDA Sports is helping bridge this gap by making quality training, venues and tournaments accessible at the grassroots level, ensuring that sports work for students rather than against their potential.”
Adit Goel, CEO of TIDA Sports, said, “The grassroots sports sector needed a reset, and TIDA Sports is leading that change. Our mission is simple: to bring professional coaching, structured programs and vibrant sports environments to every school in India. With this funding, we are on track to impact 10 million young athletes over the next five years and help create a generation that grows up active, confident and future-ready.”
