Project GameChangers was born from a recognition of the significant gender gap in leadership positions across India. Our founders - 3 women who have played for India and coached the national team, saw an opportunity to address this challenge through Ultimate Frisbee – a sport that naturally builds leadership, strategic thinking, and teamwork.

It began in 2023 with an exchange of ideas with the founders of Ultimate Peace (501c3) - best known for building bridges through sport in the Middle East. Together, we applied for the India Sport Diplomacy grant from the U.S. State Department: to train 100 young women as ultimate frisbee coaches to gain confidence, assertiveness, and leadership abilities that can be transferred to their everyday lives.

In mid-2024, we were awarded the grant from the U.S. State Department to expand our program across India. Since then, through partnerships with 20 NGOs across 12 states, we've been able to reach more than 100 young women, creating a network of emerging leaders who are already making positive changes in their communities.

Since early 2025, we lost funding from the U.S. Government, but we continue our operations through the support of Ultimate Peace and private donors. Today, while facing funding challenges, we remain committed to our mission of empowering young women to become the confident, assertive leaders India needs for a more equitable future.
