The problem Hermes solves

In India, sports education is often overlooked in favor of traditional academics, leaving many young people unaware of and untrained in sports beyond cricket. This lack of exposure and resources for sports like shooting or judo limits participation and interest among the youth, creating a significant gap in the sports ecosystem.
