Raised in a paramilitary family that moved across Indian cities every few years, Sagar Rai learned early that the sports ground was the fastest way to belong in a new town. After competitive swimming changed his lungs following childhood asthma, he went on to compete at the national level across five sports — Swimming, Football, Cricket, Arm Wrestling, and Powerlifting — and earned the Rajya Puraskar before university.
After completing his B.Tech at Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (APJAKTU), where he served as college Sports Coordinator, Sagar walked out of the final-year campus placement queue and incorporated KIBI Sports Private Limited on 16 September 2020 (CIN: U92490UP2020PTC134722, DPIIT Startup India: DIPP69448, Director DIN: 08881388).
