What we are building toward

Vision

To transform India’s sporting ethos and make sport a way of life.

Lakshyan is determined to be the game-changer in Indian sport, and an attractive lifestyle option for the uncompromising professional and the recreational hobbyist alike. Sport should be an exhilarating experience, irrespective of age or ability.

Mission

To facilitate holistic development of high-performance athletes and laypersons alike through world-class infrastructure, coaching, sports science and technology.

With infrastructure as the firm backbone, that means access to experts in every sport, high-performance programmes with individual attention, and sports science matched to the demands of each discipline, so that a healthy mind resides within a healthy body.

Our objectives

Three commitments that shape every programme

  1. From the grassroots up

    To enhance physical literacy from the grassroots level upwards with a view to nuanced, structured development.

  2. Access for every ability

    To provide easy access to infrastructure in a multitude of disciplines so as to elevate sport to an exhilarating experience, irrespective of age or ability.

  3. Elite targets, met

    To optimise realisation of specific targets of elite athletes by providing top-class coaching, integrated with the latest in sports science and driven by the most modern technology.

What sets Lakshyan apart

With infrastructure as the firm backbone, Lakshyan Academy of Sports is committed to all-round development through:

11 commitments
in three areas
  • A coach at the academy shooting range

  • A Lakshyan kit bag carrying the “Everyone is a winner” tagline

    Facilities

  • A player seated with racket and kit bag

    Access & community

    Academics sustained

    Tie-ups with reputed educational institutions to sustain the academic progress of trainees.

  • A young footballer running on the pitch

    Access & community

    Recreation for every age

    Recreational programmes designed for a wide range of people, from kids to senior citizens, with the added incentive of talent-spotting and development models.

  • A squash player mid-swing

    Access & community

    Open to institutions

    Unhindered availability to schools, colleges and universities to stage their events.

  • A player resting courtside with water

    Access & community

    Open to corporates

    Throwing doors open to corporates who can shed work pressures in a soothing, all-inclusive environment.

Social responsibility

A two-fold endeavour, with equal focus on the environment and on society.

Environment

The slant towards state-of-the-art infrastructure and wide-scale use of technology isn’t at the expense of environmental care. The objective is to minimise wastage and embrace self-sufficiency by:

  1. Adopting water management and treatment measures.
  2. Relying on organic farming to meet the needs of the cafeteria to the extent possible.
  3. Expanding the ambit of the cooling unit to not just circulate cool air throughout the Academy but also to heat the water used in showers and changing rooms.
  4. Using task-based lighting solutions from Philips to economise consumption of electricity.
  5. Investing in 3D-printed, completely recyclable luminaires, thereby minimising Lakshyan’s carbon footprint.

Society

We take great pride in our commitment to fulfilling our societal duties, with people always at the forefront. This exercise will entail:

  1. Uplifting the lives of rural inhabitants by providing them a platform to hone skills inherited from traditional family vocations. This could include a fisherman’s offspring being encouraged to develop swimming skills, or Manipuri youth seeking to join the Indian Army polishing their shooting abilities.
  2. Offering our rehab, physiotherapy and related services on a priority basis to our citizens, including seniors, with major ailments including cardio-vascular and thyroid-related issues.

The motivation

Lakshyan is determined to establish itself as the game-changer in Indian sport. While that might sound ambitious, our concepts are designed to make Lakshyan an attractive lifestyle option for the uncompromising pro and the recreational hobbyist. The goal is an aspirational dreamland where:

  1. Every individual will feel wanted, cherished and at home from the moment they set foot on our premises.
  2. An air of positivity and feel-good will provide the perfect setting for the pursuit of sporting excellence, and facilitate recurring visits of the casual practitioner.
  3. Every need, physical, mental, technical and soulful, is addressed with compassion, wisdom and through the best facilitators.
  4. Family values are promoted by encouraging parents and children to jointly and simultaneously use our facilities, in such a way that they will keep returning for enriching life experiences.

Come join the #LASlife and embark on a journey of fulfilment.
