His commitment to the sport and his achievements have cemented him as a lasting icon in Indian badminton.
Champion
“The Ramseth Thakur International Sports Complex holds a special place in my heart because this is where the journey of Dipankar’s Badminton Academy began. I entered this complex with the simple intention of sparking my son’s interest in badminton and little did I know that this small step would grow into something much greater. This complex became the foundation of a vision—one that has since inspired and nurtured countless young athletes.
I’ve been fortunate to travel the world and compete on the biggest stages, but this place is where my purpose truly took shape. Being called a legend is humbling, but it also reminds me of the responsibility I carry—to give back, to rise above the challenges in our sports ecosystem, and to create a brighter path for the next generation.
That’s why RTISC is more than just a starting point; it embodies the spirit of Dipankar’s Badminton Academy—to nurture minds, inspire champions, and build a legacy. This isn’t just a tagline for Dipankar’s Badminton Academy @ RTISC; it’s my life’s mission, born here and carried forward with pride.”
