Why Athletes Need a Second Innings Plan

You trained for years to compete. But no one taught you about money.

Irregular Income

Prize money comes in bursts. Sponsorships end without warning. You need to make windfalls last.

Short Careers

Most athletes retire before 35. That's 30+ years of life ahead without the income you're used to.

Predatory Schemes

"Guaranteed returns" and "quick money" schemes specifically target athletes. Many have lost everything.

No One to Ask

Coaches teach sport, not finance. As an athlete, you need financial guidance you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions.

The program is free after verification. We charge a ₹999 verification fee to prevent fake applications and cover review costs. After that, everything - the portfolio, lessons, AI coach - is free.

No. The only cost is the ₹999 verification fee upfront. There are no management fees, no platform fees, no withdrawal charges. The brokerage account may have standard trading charges, but those are minimal and industry-standard.

Because athletes deserve financial security. You've dedicated years to your sport, often sacrificing education and career opportunities. We believe giving you a head start in investing - along with the knowledge to grow it - is the best way to secure your future after sport.

The grants come from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds from companies that want to support Indian athletes. Right To Play Foundation manages these funds and distributes them through this program.

We don't. This is a non-profit initiative by Right To Play Foundation. The ₹999 verification fee covers operational costs. We have no profit motive - our only goal is to help athletes build financial security.

Yes. The portfolio is in your name and held in your brokerage account. It's not a loan and there's no repayment.

Grants range from ₹10,000 to ₹5 lakhs. The amount depends on your competition level, career stage, and financial situation. Higher-level athletes and those with greater need may receive larger grants.

Yes, after 3 years. This lock-in ensures you experience the real power of compounding and build lasting habits. After the lock-in, you have full control.

That's completely up to you. The grant is meant to get you started - you're not required to add anything. But if you want to invest more after learning the basics, you can do so in your own brokerage account. We'll teach you how.

No. We provide financial education and explain concepts. We do not give personalized investment advice. The AI coach explains terms and helps you understand options - it doesn't tell you what to do.

Any athlete who has competed at district level or above in any recognized sport, aged 16-40. You'll need proof: a certificate, medal photo, news clipping, or federation ID.

Athletes aged below 18 can apply with a parent or guardian's consent. The portfolio will be in your name with the same 3-year lock-in period. You'll have full access once the lock-in ends.

We minimize data collection and don't sell your information. Your investment account is with SEBI-registered brokers. WhatsApp messages are encrypted. We only use your information to provide the program.

Verification typically takes up to 7 days. We manually review each application to ensure authenticity. You'll receive updates on WhatsApp.

We understand the concern - athletes are often targeted by fraudsters. Here's why we're different: Your money goes into a SEBI-registered brokerage account in your name, not ours. We're backed by Right To Play Foundation, a registered trust. We never ask for your trading password or OTPs. And we never promise "guaranteed returns" - because that's always a red flag.
