Suheim Sheikh

[The Better India @thebetterindia]

Sailing in India had always belonged to a certain kind of person. Suheim Sheikh knew this firsthand — as a boy in Hyderabad, he could barely afford sailing shoes.

Years later, after building a career in financial technology, he came back to the sport with a question: what if talent didn't have to depend on money?

In 2009, he started the Yacht Club of Hyderabad with three boats and a handful of coaches. The early years were slow. But in 2014, when the club won its first national championship, something shifted.

Today, the club has produced 86 national champions and seen over 150 young athletes compete across 20 countries. Many of the girls training here had never seen a boat before they arrived.

Beyond medals, the club addresses nutrition, fitness, mental health, and education — because Sheikh saw early on that training alone was never going to be enough.

One of his former students now earns over Rs 2 lakh a month. His family's income was Rs 8,000.
"Talent exists everywhere," Sheikh says. "Access can change everything."

Nothing can come between our Nanhi Kalis and their boats ⛵️

Our Nanhi Kalis were delighted to be trained by @Suheim and his incredible team of coaches (who are as young as 12 years and national champions themselves!) at The Yacht Club in Hyderabad this past week.
