A Tribute to the Unsung Heroes Behind India's Sporting Success
Bengaluru, 23 August 2024 – Gameskraft Foundation, the social arm of leading skill-based online games company Gameskraft, in partnership with the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS), proudly launches ‘Mere Kadmon Ke Peechhe’. This evocative film celebrates the unsung heroes—the support systems behind some of India’s most promising track and field athletes.

By showcasing their journey, the campaign seeks to inspire a new generation of athletes and spotlight the collective effort required to achieve greatness.
The campaign goes beyond the athletes themselves, shedding light on the crucial contributions of coaches, physiotherapists, nutritionists, sports scientists, and the unwavering encouragement from family and friends. ‘Mere Kadmon Ke Peechhe’ beautifully captures the essence of teamwork and dedication, reminding us that behind every medal is a village of supporters who make success possible.
