Not a Feature Team. An Infrastructure Team.
Splink is built on the intersection of National Policy, Global Sports Science, and Deep AI. We are a collective of Olympians, Dronacharya Awardees, and PhDs united by a single mission: building India's sovereign talent infrastructure.
Pullela Gopichand
Chief National Coach · India Badminton
The Architect of India's High-Performance Standard
India does not lack talent; we lack a system that can connect, interpret, and remember that talent over time. Splink is the missing layer — a longitudinal memory that turns a coach's "gut feel" into a national system of record. It is time we stop starting from zero every year and start building a compounding legacy for every child.
Pullela Gopichand serves as our Chief Mentor, ensuring that the same high-performance rigor used to produce world champions is digitized and made accessible to every village, school, and academy in India.
Under his guidance, Splink has evolved from a tool into a National Infrastructure for talent identification.
