New Delhi [India], August 7: “We come from Bharat, where the Prime Minister listens to the struggles of athletes. When our players were suffering in extreme heatwave conditions, he ensured air conditioners were arranged and delivered within 24 hours. This is the same Bharat that will soon be among the top 5 in the Olympic medal tally and rise as a global sports superpower.” — Rajveer Rohit Kaushik, Founder of Talentpost.

An injury during a match may have tried to stop Rajveer Rohit Kaushik’s playing journey, but it opened the door to a much bigger mission. Having experienced the challenges athletes face, he decided to dedicate his life to building a system that nurtures and protects young talents across Bharat.

He often remarks, “Bharat’s Usain Bolts are not born in stadiums, they are born in villages.” Through Talentpost, Kaushik is creating a national movement to discover raw talent from the smallest towns and provide them with world-class training and real opportunities to rise.

Kaushik credits much of his inspiration to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visionary leadership. “Modi ji’s commitment towards athletes has given a new spirit to sports in Bharat. He listens, understands, and acts — whether it’s policy-making or sending ACs for players in 24 hours. His vision for Bharat becoming a global sports superpower aligns perfectly with my mission.” Kaushik adds.

“We are not just preparing athletes; we are preparing a new Bharat where every child’s dream matters. This is not just my mission — this is Bharat’s collective dream.” Kaushik concludes.
