Harshad Riyan – More Than Just Speed

At an age when most children are still discovering their interests, Harshad Riyan has already discovered his purpose—and he’s chasing it at full speed.
What began as a simple passion for skating has turned into a journey of grit and discipline. With over 92 medals and 8 championship titles, Riyan has built a record that reflects not just talent, but consistency and hard work.
Riyan’s rise has been steady and well-earned—first becoming the State Champion of Tamil Nadu, and now achieving a major milestone as the National Champion in the Under-12 category.
Today, Riyan stands on the edge of a bigger dream. He has been selected to represent Team India at an international championship in Indonesia, stepping onto a global stage where the competition is tougher and the stakes are higher. But beyond the medals and titles lies something more powerful—a young athlete learning resilience, discipline, and the courage to keep going. Riyan’s journey is a reminder that greatness doesn’t happen overnight; it is built through small, consistent efforts every single day.

Harshad Riyan, a Badaga boy, aged 12 yrs, raised by a single mom, has won more than 82+ medals in state and national levels, is now selected to represent INDIA at the International meet to be held in Jakarta, Indonesia during May 26th May to 6th June 2026.
