Indian Cycling Project 

A brand agnostic project, that offers an opportunity to the most whole athletes in Indian cycling, the hands-on mentorship to learn to leverage best-in-class systems in the sport, outside India. Some, may succeed. 

​

Whole athletes are individuals with:

  • a passion for the sport of cycling

  • a high work rate in training

  • a support system around them

  • results at the elite-level in India

  • and who show an inclination to give back to their sport in some capacity

​

Hands-on mentorship includes:

  • Guiding preparation leading into the training block

  • Removing administrative road blocks - from Visa applications and trouble-shooting, to permission letters, to team invites, to securing accommodation, to travel logistics, and whole heap more

  • Help with budgeting and private fundraising to meet any financial gaps, if required

​

Best-in-class systems refers to:

  • The dense, high-quality, low-cost "kermesse" racing calendar that exists in the cycling stronghold of Belgium, that go on from March to October

  • Every day on the calendar sees half a dozen races,1.5-2x as hard as the Indian National Championships, with a strong field of riders from all over the world, all at a low cost of entry of about 5-10EURuros/400-800 INR per race
