About Foundation

For the past 29 years Mr. Mihir Teranikar has been engaged in scientific fitness training and 16 athletes has been successfully represented India in various sports national & international levels.

He discovered during his athletic career that grassroots sports receive an inadequate amount of funding. There is a young population with exceptional athletic ability. However, the lack of funding for coaching, equipment, travel, and facility improvements keeps the talent concealed. Mr. Mihir Teranikar Sir occasionally paid for young athletes out of his own pocket because he recognized the importance of the moment and wanted to ensure that players did not pass up a fantastic opportunity. 

In order to overcome this obstacle and contribute to the development of India as a powerful athletic nation, we at the Teranikar Foundation are positive that sport enthusiasts would undoubtedly sponsor athletes who are in need of financial assistance.

Vision

To nurture emerging talents to become future sports ambassadors at the National Level by providing growth, mentorship, and support.

Mission

To empower athletes through equipment, nutrition, and fundraising for local and global tournaments.

MAN Behind The MISSION

Mr. Mihir Teranikar, a dedicated individual with dreams of representing India in cricket, faced unfulfilled aspirations due to added responsibilities. Supported by his mother and grandmother, he chose to pursue club cricket in England, ultimately making the difficult decision to leave professional cricket to support his family. Despite this shift, his enduring passion for sports remained, prompting him to discover the vital importance of physical fitness through daily routines.

Over 29 years, Mihir Sir has dedicated himself to improving athletes’ physical fitness and promoting a healthy lifestyle. From kids to those in their 60s, he has helped diverse individuals achieve their goals. Motivated by witnessing talented youngsters facing setbacks, he has launched a platform to ensure no athlete gives up on their dreams due to financial constraints. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in elevating athletes’ physical fitness and promoting healthy lifestyles, Mihir Sir has witnessed both triumphs and setbacks in the sports arena. Motivated by a deep-seated commitment to ensuring that financial barriers don’t derail promising athletic dreams, they have founded Teranikar Sports and Fitness Foundation (TSFF). This platform is born out of a passion for supporting athletes facing financial challenges, providing them with opportunities to pursue their aspirations without hindrance.

" मिहिर सरांबद्दल जेवढे बोलू तेवढे कमीच आहे. क्रीडा प्रकारांत पारंगत आणि पारखी नजर असणारे मिहीर सर अतिशय मेहनतीने आज ह्या उंचीवर पोहोचले आहेत. तरीही अतिशय विनम्रतेने त्यांनी स्वतःला फिटनेस ट्रेनिंगला झोकून दिले आहे. सरांचे सातत्यपूर्ण मार्गदर्शन, मानसिक पाठिंबा आणि त्यांनी करून घेतलेल्या अविरत शारीरिक तयारीमुळेच , मी जगातील सर्वात अवघड अशी IRONMAN ही स्पर्धा kazakistan येथे जाऊन 14 तासात यशस्वीरीत्या पूर्ण करु शकलो. सरांच्या हाताखाली तयार झालेले खेळाडू जागतिक पातळीवर आज नावाजले गेले आहेत. त्याबद्दल मला सरांचा खूप अभिमान वाटतो. त्यांच्या पुढील वाटचालीस माझ्याकडून अनेक शुभेच्छा !
