We're delighted to announce that Grandmaster Sahaj Grover has joined CHESS KLUB as our Advisor, Brand Ambassador, and the face of our brand. The association was officially closed, marking another important step in CHESS KLUB's journey to becoming India's most trusted name in chess education.

Who is GM Sahaj Grover?

Sahaj Grover is one of India's most accomplished chess Grandmasters — a former World Youth Champion, an experienced international player, a respected coach, and a chess commentator known across the global chess community. Having competed at the highest levels of the game and worked closely within the professional chess ecosystem for years, Sahaj brings a rare combination of playing pedigree, coaching insight, and real credibility to everything CHESS KLUB does.

Connect With GM Sahaj Grover

What this means for our students, coaches, and centers?

As part of this association, GM Grover will:

  • Conduct exclusive masterclasses and advanced chess camps for CHESS KLUB students
  • Mentor and guide our coaching staff across every center
  • Interact directly with students, bringing them closer to Grandmaster-level thinking
  • Contribute to CHESS KLUB's curriculum and training ecosystem
  • Represent CHESS KLUB as we continue expanding across India and beyond

For the thousands of students already learning at our 37 centers across India, the US, and Saudi Arabia, this means direct access to Grandmaster-level insight — not just a name on a poster, but active involvement in how we teach and coach.

A message from our CEO Sudev Rajah:

"A Huge Milestone for Team CHESS KLUB!

Our mission is to build 1,000 CHESS KLUBs across India, the US, and the world - and that takes extraordinary leadership.

Today, we're proud to announce that Grandmaster Sahaj Grover is joining Team CHESS KLUB as our Global Brand Ambassador & Chief Chess Advisor.

A child prodigy turned champion, Sahaj is a World U-10 Champion, took 3rd place at the World Junior Chess Championship, was South African Champion, and became one of India's youngest Grandmasters.

Beyond world-class expertise, he brings the heart and grit to mentor the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and Grandmasters worldwide.

Welcome home, Sahaj! Let's make history together."
