About India 3x3
Basketball
Building India's Road to Pro — one player, one city, one tournament at a time.
Our Story
India 3x3 Basketball was born out of a simple but powerful observation: Indian basketball players had the talent, the passion, and the drive — but lacked a structured pathway to reach the international stage.
Founded by Govinda Sharma in 2019, the platform set out to change that. Starting with grassroots programs in just 5 cities, the mission was clear — create equal opportunities for every aspiring basketball player across India, regardless of their background or location.
Today, India 3x3 Basketball has grown into a national movement — with tournaments spanning 25+ cities, 5,000+ players engaged, and Indian athletes competing on international courts across 7 countries.
The Road to Pro is no longer just a vision. It is a reality being lived by hundreds of Indian players every year.

Meet the Founder
Govinda Sharma
Founder & Director, India 3x3 Basketball
"When I started my journey in 3x3 basketball, there was no clear pathway for Indian players to reach the international stage. India 3x3 Basketball was created to bridge that gap — to give every talented player in this country a real shot at competing globally.
Our mission is simple: create a roadmap, provide opportunities, and help every player realize their potential. The Road to Pro is not just a tagline — it is a promise we make to every athlete who joins our community."
