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.

Australian Open 2025
Lakshya Sen, who trains at the Centre for Badminton Excellence (CBE), clinched the 2025 Australian Open Super 500 title with a commanding 21–15, 21–11 win over Japan’s Yushi Tanaka.
This victory is his first title of the season and a standout moment in a year of hard work and rebuilding. The confidence in his movement, the clarity in his shot-making, and the composure he showed on court reflect the intense high-performance training he has been sharpening at CBE.
At CBE, Lakshya trains in an environment built around elite coaching, structured physical preparation, and a culture that demands excellence every single day. His win adds to the growing list of international achievements shaped on our courts.

Testimonials
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.
