The Vision Behind Indiasfirst
Hi, I'm Ayush Lodha, National Chess Player and founder of Checkmate Masters.
I launched Indiasfirst because I saw a gap: kids needed focused, topic-based learning instead of generic coaching.
Coaches needed business & teaching frameworks to thrive, not just survive.
Indiasfirst is where I bring both worlds together – helping players grow into champions and coaches grow into leaders.
