Expert Chess Coaching
About Indian Chess Academy
Indian Chess Academy began as a response to the overly generic nature of most online chess classes. Founded by Viraj Pandit, a computer science engineer with a lifelong passion for the game, we believed that chess education needed to be engaging and personal.
Viraj teamed up with Nachiket Chitre, whose structured approach helped shape the academy into a place where students receive close, thoughtful mentoring.
Every session is designed with care, allowing coaches to adapt to each student’s pace and style — building not just skill, but confidence.
