The People Behind ARVA
A team of dedicated educators, athletes, and sports science professionals united by one mission — to create India's next generation of badminton champions.
Three distinguished professionals who founded ARVA Sports Foundation to bridge the gap between talent and professional sports infrastructure in Moradabad.
Prof. Anil Chauhan is the Chief Advisor and Sports Science Expert at ARVA Sports Foundation. He is not only an elite athlete but also an outstanding academic achiever — awarded the prestigious Gold Medal and Best Student Award in both his B.P.E. (Bachelor of Physical Education) and M.P.E. (Master of Physical Education) programs.
With deep academic specialization in Athlete Care & Rehabilitation and Exercise Physiology, Prof. Chauhan brings a rare combination of hands-on competitive athletic experience and rigorous sports science knowledge. He guides ARVA's athletes toward peak performance and holistic well-being, designing evidence-based training protocols and overseeing the academy's scientific framework.
Prof. Manish Bhatt
Chief Motion Analyst
Prof. Manish Bhatt serves as the Chief Motion Analyst at ARVA Sports Foundation & ArVa Badminton Academy. He brings specialized expertise in movement science and biomechanical study of athletic performance.
Prof. Bhatt's work focuses on capturing and analyzing athlete movement patterns — from stroke mechanics and joint loading to footwork efficiency — using advanced motion capture systems and video analysis tools to provide precise, actionable feedback that elevates each athlete's technical game.
Mr. Himanshu Yadav
Chief Mentor & Educationist
Mr. Himanshu Yadav is the Chief Mentor and Educationist at ARVA Sports Foundation, bridging the critical gap between sports excellence and academic achievement for student-athletes.
He oversees the holistic development framework at the Academy — ensuring that athletes receive robust educational support, personal mentoring, and life-skills development alongside their sports training. His guidance helps athletes navigate competitive pressures with confidence and balance.
Our leadership team works in unison across these four foundational pillars to create athletes who are exceptional on and off the court.
01
Every training method at ARVA is grounded in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sports science research, not tradition alone.
02
Training programs are built around the individual. Each athlete's needs, goals, and growth markers define their unique development path.
03
Academic support, mental conditioning, nutritional guidance, and rehabilitation exist alongside technical training to create complete athletes.
04
We build athletes for national and international stages, not just local circuits — instilling discipline and professionalism from day one.
