Girls for Gold

‘Girls for Gold Program’ is built by the collaboration of Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic and CSR arm of Infosys and GoSports Foundation. It is a high-performance excellence program for junior and emerging women athletes. This program, spanning an initial term of four years, identifies and supports progression of talented Indian women athletes between 13 to 19 years of age through collaborations with high potential academies and coaches in India. The program includes scholarships, coaching, access to academies, and performance recognition.

The program follows a three-pronged approach. First, it establishes a strong cohort of women athletes who are equipped to compete at the international level, help them build sustainable careers, and nurture them to become role models for the next generation. Secondly, it builds a pipeline of qualified and capable coaches who will help realize the aspirations of athletes and create an atmosphere of sustained sporting excellence. Third, it helps tech-enable the identified academies to make them world class training centres.
