Quotes
Arjun Pradipak
Coach and Commodore of the Secunderabad Sailing Club
“My dream is to build a sailing academy in clean waters like the Krishna Raja Sagara, where sailors can train in a safe environment. An academy that spots talent early and gives it a genuine pathway to the Asian Games and the Olympics, while helping our young sailors keep up with their academics, so no one has to choose between a competitive career and their education”
