About Bridges of Sports Foundation

Bridges of Sports Foundation is a purpose-driven organisation transforming athletic potential into podium-winning performance. Rooted in the tribal communities of north Karnataka, we are working to build India’s first sprint capital, unlocking a hidden trove of naturally gifted sprinters and giving them the platform, support, and world-class coaching they deserve.

BoSprint

Our commitment is holistic and unwavering. From early talent screening via our Minchu Series obstacle course, to full-spectrum support covering coaching, education, nutrition, mental health, and living essentials — we are invested in the athlete and the community.

We believe that every win belongs to the community: when an athlete succeeds, it inspires the next generation. By building infrastructure from within and growing with our athletes and the region, we’re redefining what high-performance sports development can look like in India.
