Multi-sports training & coaching platform TIDA Sports raises Rs 3 crore in funding

TIDA Sports, a Chandigarh-based multi-sports training & coaching platform, has raised Rs 3 crore in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, a Gurugram-based angel investment platform.

The startup will use the raised capital towards widening 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, the release notes.

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, 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.

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.

“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,” said Ankur Mittal, Co-founder of IPV. 

“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,” Mittal added.
