Garmin Partners with MyKrida to Support Tribal Athletes with Performance Tracking Technology

New Delhi, May 26, 2026: Garmin has partnered with MyKrida to support emerging athletes from tribal regions in India by providing them with performance tracking technology aimed at improving training and athlete development.

Under the initiative, seven athletes from underrepresented regions across India have been equipped with Garmin Forerunner smartwatches to help monitor training metrics and performance data. The athletes, participating in athletics and endurance sports, were identified through MyKrida’s grassroots talent development programme.

The smartwatches provide data related to heart rate, pace, distance, recovery, sleep, and training load, enabling athletes and coaches to track progress and make informed training decisions.

The initiative is being implemented on the ground by MyKrida, which works with athletes across grassroots and professional levels to improve access to structured training support and development opportunities.

Mr. Deepak Raina, Director, AMIT GPS & Navigation LLP said, “India has immense untapped athletic potential, particularly in regions where access to structured training tools remains limited. At Garmin, our focus is on enabling athletes with reliable, performance-led technology that brings clarity to how they train, recover, and improve. Through this initiative, we aim to support long-term athletic development and help these athletes compete with greater confidence and consistency.”

Shubham Sharma, Founder, MyKrida added, “At MyKrida, we are committed to identifying and nurturing talent at the grassroots level, especially in regions where access to resources is limited. Collaborating with Garmin allows us to bring world-class performance technology directly to these athletes, enabling them to train smarter and accelerate their development.”

The initiative is part of Garmin’s broader efforts to expand access to performance-focused wearable technology for athletes in India.
