Learning The Game of Life.
Join The Clan
At CHESS KLUB, we bring bright like-minded individuals who share our love for the game. Our goal is to create a friendly atmosphere where everyone can enhance their skills by playing against others with similar abilities. CHESS KLUB is an ideal training ground for young minds to improve and perfect their techniques.
With our expert mentorship, they soon discover their own game and develop a style that’s true to their personality.
That’s what we look to do at CHESS KLUB – help our students find a little bit of themselves.
In chess, they say every move must have a purpose. We believe that holds true for life too. The game of chess has the power to mold rational thinkers who have the unique ability to keep emotions aside and think strategically to conquer any obstacles life may throw at them. We want to help people to harness this gift and put it to good use in their lives.
We believe chess has the power to make the world a better place. In an increasingly divided world, the game of chess has brought 600 million people across nations, languages, gender, and religion together over 64 black and white squares.
Now, that’s what we call checkmate.

The Vision
Create the world's best chess eco-system to empower beginners master the game of chess and become better human beings.
“I Didn’t Make The First Move… Chess Did.”
The story begins with my childhood. My father – a renowned Chess player in his day – introduced me to the game. With each passing day, I realized how the game was having a profound effect on my life itself. I was analyzing things more carefully, invoking various strategies, and ready to make smaller sacrifices in the hopes of reaching the larger goal.
I’ve come a long way since those wonderful days of playing chess with my father. Along the way, I met my life partner, Sudev Rajah, who turned out to be even more obsessed with chess than I was (if that was even possible). I’ve seen him develop and implement strategies that have paved the way for him, his team, his employers, his clients, and the world at large. With just one move at a time.
That inspired me to start this new adventure along with my husband. And in February 2019, the game began. We knew CHESS KLUB had the potential to positively impact society by teaching them the many life lessons it had taught us.
From our wonderful neighborhood of Fort Mill– we’ve now taken CHESS KLUB to 4 locations across the US and India – and we’re growing bigger each month. We thank all of you who have been a part of the journey so far, and we know that if we make all the right moves, CHESS KLUB could change the lives of millions of kids around the world, just like it did for me – all those years ago – as I sat at home, playing the game with my dad.
Every Game Has Its Own Rules.
The values we follow are what make us who we are. At CHESS KLUB, we follow a belief system that aligns with our vision and creates a safe environment for our students to thrive.
