Grassroots Development Program | The Anirban Lahiri Foundation

Young junior golfer practicing under coach supervision

We believe that every child who wants to swing a golf club should have the gear, the coach, and the opportunity to do so, regardless of their background.

Democratizing Golf in India

Nurturing Talent from the Roots Up

Our grassroots vertical focuses on breaking entry barriers to golf by partnering directly with historic and regional golf clubs.

Traditional golf has high entry costs for equipment, coaching, and range facilities, which makes the sport inaccessible to many young athletes. The Anirban Lahiri Foundation funds comprehensive support packs including standard junior club sets, balls, range access subsidies, and coach wages.

We integrate structured coaching curricula based on the National Golf Academy of India (NGAI) standards, training regional mentors so that junior athletes receive top-tier, biomechanically sound foundations from day one.
