According to the Guardian, former Tottenham and Fulham player Tanvie Hans and performance coach Swetha Subbiah launched an initiative called 'Sisters in Sweat' in India. The idea, which began at a casual dinner party in Bengaluru in 2017, has grown into India's largest women-first sports community. The group operates in 10 Indian cities, aiming to fill the gap in women's access to sports facilities and challenge social pressures that often discourage women from outdoor physical activities. Hans and Subbiah provide coach-led football sessions at an affordable entry fee, creating a judgment-free environment for women to exercise and connect. The initiative specifically targets women who have drifted away from sports after their student years due to household responsibilities or traditional social norms.
