Verified Athlete Pathways: Youth Powerlifting, Barbell Meritocracy & Campus Weight Rooms in India (2026)

Sagar Rai |

KIBI Sports is a sports business from India with two legs: sports equipment from 257+ brand partners sold through our own ecommerce and international B2B exports, and a sports platform used by athletes, academies and institutions.

A 25 kilo bumper plate doesn't care who your father knows. That pure meritocracy is why KIBI founder Sagar Rai competed in powerlifting in college and why young lifters like Varun Pradip Dave (a national medalist at age 15) thrive in strength sports.
