CENTRE FOR
BADMINTON EXCELLENCE
[FORMERLY PPBA]
building champions
At Centre for Badminton Excellence, we believe champions are not born but built—through years of intentional training, structured planning, and quiet discipline. Talent is only the starting point. What follows is daily effort, thoughtful coaching, and a commitment to doing the work, even when it’s hard. Our focus is on long-term athlete development, not overnight success or short-term gains. Every player here is part of a system that prioritises effort, integrity, and growth—on the court and beyond it.
our
impact
We don’t measure success in moments but in years of consistent output. From producing Olympians to creating a steady pipeline of national-level athletes, our numbers reflect the strength of our systems and the seriousness of our approach. These outcomes are not accidental—they are engineered through process.

Thailand Masters 2026
Ms. Devika Sihag of Haryana secured the Gold Medal in the Women’s Singles category at the Thailand Masters 2026, held in Patumwan from 27 January to 1 February 2026.
In the final, Devika was in complete control against Jin Wei Goh of Malaysia, taking the first game 21–8 and leading 6–3 in the second before her opponent conceded due to injury.
Earlier in the tournament, Devika produced one of the standout performances of the event by defeating top seed Supanida Katethong of Thailand in the quarterfinals, underlining her composure and competitiveness at the highest level.
This victory marks Devika’s maiden BWF Super 300 title, a significant milestone in her career and an important achievement for Indian badminton and for all of us at CBE.

These are not highlight reels or scripted narratives. They are lived journeys, grounded in process, patience, and personal growth.

Kiran Seth, the man behind SPIC MACAY, tells about his trips with his father to India's famous Gurukuls, the Bihar School of Yoga, the Ammannur Gurukulam, the Dagar brother's music school etc. I would like to look upon PPBA as a Gurukul, where the philosophy of a Master sportsman, Sri Prakash Padukone has been taught for more than 3 decades. Hope it continues for ever.
