Registered as a non-profit trust in September 2008, GoSports Foundation was conceptualized by an Olympian, and graduates of Harvard and Oxford who wanted to translate their passion for sport into a concrete idea that strengthens the future of Indian sport.
In India, junior talent in Olympic disciplines has very little recognition and funding support to motivate them to stay in their sport and proceed to senior and international levels. At GoSports Foundation we believe that champions are created when the right talent gets the right support at the right time. We have directed our efforts toward providing crucial financial support for high-potential athletes. We are committed toward building an India where the best sporting talent, regardless of economic background, physical ability, religion, caste or region is given fair opportunities to perform and incentives to excel.
We invite you to be a part of the GoSports Foundation Sporting Revolution.

Dream A Dream seeks to empower children from vulnerable backgrounds by developing life skills and at the same time sensitizing the community through active volunteers leading to a non-discriminatory society where unique differences are appreciated.
Dream A Dream hopes to achieve this by providing sustained life skill development programs to children through exposure to sports, outdoor camps, creative arts, computers and theatre among others. These life skills, including interpersonal and cognitive skills as well as soft skills such as confidence and creativity are fundamental to child/youth development and to the successful transition into adulthood. These children are deemed vulnerable as they may be orphans or abandoned children, street children and other children from slum communities.
Dream A Dream currently reaches out to over 1500 vulnerable children through an active volunteer base of over 1000 volunteers and our total reach will expand to 2000 children by 2009/2010.
