Sports Science | High Performance Expert | Para Sports Training Strategist | Sports & Performance Audits | Sports Academic | Founder Director at ADOPT Sports

Indian sport requires stronger collaboration among domain experts with deep expertise in knowledge, approach, and execution. When professionals operate in silos, the athlete, who is the primary stakeholder, often bears the consequences of fragmented and misaligned efforts within their support system.

My work has centered on supporting elite able-bodied and para athletes from both Army and civilian backgrounds across disciplines, contributing to career resurgence through injury rehabilitation and performance training. I have consistently delivered return-to-sport outcomes that surpass industry standards in both speed and quality, while setting higher performance benchmarks for athletic excellence. In parallel, I have been actively involved in identifying and nurturing tribal and rural sporting talent through my NGO, ADOPT Sports.

 

My mission is to foster a more cohesive and accountable sporting ecosystem in India by enabling collaboration, encouraging cross-learning, and building capacity, which will ensure that the country’s top athletes, both able-bodied and para, have the best possible opportunity to achieve excellence.

SUCCESS STORIES

RAHI SARNOBAT.png
"I started training with Darsshan sir when the World Championships were about 8-9 months away. He strategised the training perfectly to improve my game and I bagged Gold at the 2013 World Championships. I went on to win Gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Championship as well while training with him."

"Having had a career-threatening injury when my world ranking was within the top 30, it was imperative that I don't injure my knee again. Darsshan sir rehabilitated my knee and strengthened it in the span of 6 months. Then there was no stopping me and through regular training I could finally become the Senior National Champion in the year 2010!"

Swati and Nandini came from extremely modest backgrounds from a small village ahead of Kolhapur. They were adopted under Dorf Ketal Pvt. Ltd.'s CSR for Sports programme and trained from 2015 to 2024
Since then, both have become Junior National Champions (Nandini in 2017 and Swati in 2018). Furthermore, Nandini was successfully rehabilitated from ACL reconstruction in merely 8 months to secure a Bronze in the 2019 U-23 National Championship. She was also rehabilitated from a rotator cuff and labrum slap tear surgery in the span of 7 months to claim Gold at the 2022 Khelo India University Games.
"As a coach I can tell you that these girls were never short of talent, but their transformation after they started working with Darsshan Sir has been something special. Even for me it has been a learning curve on the training front"
- Dada Lavate (Swati and Nandini's coach)
