Eklvya

 

Eklavya is an epic character from Indian mythology. He achieved pinnacle of performance in archery without any coach or teacher. He achieved it by practicing & practicing only. Please refer wiki Ekalavya to know more about this inspiring character.

There are so many Eklavyas in society today. They are unable to reach their genetic potential. From many reasons responsible for it, availability of coaches is biggest concern. Second concern is with respect to quality basic training.

Eklavya Platform is designed to address this challenging concerns with help of technology. We are different because we want to make it affordable for all. We are starting with Boxing.
