Ajinkya Pawar
As any other tennis player dreams, I too dreamed to be in the top ranking as a professional tennis player but even though I could not achieve it, I realized the needs of a constructive coaching system for players. While learning and implementing that knowledge I gained experience of coaching from beginners to top 10 men’s players of India. My 10+ years of experience from coaching beginners to running my own academy has given me a complete understanding of the tennis business from coaching and business perspective.

Testimonial
Ajinkya is no ordinary coach! He has a deep understanding of the game and the people wanting to play the game. My daughter was a very difficult player to deal with and he did all that it took to put her in the right direction. Today she is a keen tennis player and without Ajinkya this would have not been possible ever. He is a rare kind of a person.
