Through his illustrious career as a badminton player, Pullela Gopichand, Chief National Coach of the Indian Badminton Team, had seen several highs and lows. He understood very quickly that his own career growth aside, there was a need to build badminton into a widely recognised sport in India. He thus, decided to further his mission by helping others develop successful careers in the sport. Coming from a humble background, he was well versed with the struggles of performing a sport which at the time no one in India watched or respected. He also understood the importance of mentoring and coaching, which he laid most influence on. Having built the Gopichand Badminton Academy, he is today coach to two of India’s Olympian Badminton players, Saina Nehwal and P V Sindhu.
