Our Story

Built for India's
next generation
of champions.

SooperChamp was born from a simple belief - every child in India has a hidden talent waiting to be discovered. We built the platform to find it.

How it started

A parent's frustration.
A builder's obsession.

In 2021, Aakash Mehta was searching for competitions for his 11-year-old daughter, Ananya. He spent three evenings digging through school notice boards, WhatsApp groups and outdated government websites. He found nine competitions. Three had already closed. Two were not relevant to her grade. Only four were real possibilities.

He was an engineer. He knew there had to be a better way. Six months later, he had built the first version of SooperChamp - a simple tool that matched competitions to a child's profile. He shared it with 12 parents in his building. Within a week, all 12 had applied to at least one competition.

Ananya won her first science olympiad three months later.

Our Mission

Every child deserves to know what they're great at - and find the stage to prove it.

We are building India's most intelligent discovery platform for children and youth - where talent finds opportunity, and opportunity finds talent.

What we believe

Four things we never compromise on.

01

Child First, Always.

Every product decision, every competition we list, every recommendation we make - starts with one question: is this good for the child? Not the parent. Not the school. Not us. The child.

02

Personalization is Respect.

A 10-year-old in Jodhpur interested in art should never see the same feed as a 15-year-old in Bengaluru who codes. Generic is lazy. Every child deserves a platform that sees them as an individual.

03

Opportunity should be Equal.

Talent is distributed equally across India. Access to opportunity is not. We are working to fix that - so a child in a small town has the same discovery advantage as one in a metro.

04

Winning is Not Everything. Competing Is.

Participation builds character. Every child who applies to a competition learns something - about themselves, about effort, about resilience. We celebrate every application, not just the trophies.
