Vision 360 – The Future We’re Building

Discover IKF Career360’s transformative vision to redefine football and build India into a true sporting nation through parent-first, ecosystem-driven support.

IKF Career360 – The Blueprint to a Sporting Nation

A New Way to Think About Sports in India

For decades, sports—especially football—have been seen in India as an uncertain gamble. Less than 1% of players make it to the professional level, leaving behind a majority of kids and parents unsure of what’s next.

IKF Career360 is rewriting this narrative.

We envision football not just as a game, but as a gateway—to leadership, discipline, career opportunity, and social change. This is our movement to build a sports-positive, future-ready India.

Our Vision

To redefine how India views football and sport—as structured, inclusive, and purposeful. IKF Career360 aims to turn football into a viable, respected pathway for any child, no matter their background.

"We dream of a future where every village sees football as a direction—not a detour."

Phani Bhushan, Founder, IKF

  • Involve parents from day one through structured goal-setting and personalized roadmaps
  • Build a verified national network of coaches, tutors, and wellness experts
  • Create career transitions for players into coaching, analytics, sports medicine, and more

What Makes Career360 Different?
