Chola Chess

"I should probably come to a Chola camp and start with the kids - their energy is quite infectious and something I really enjoy" - Mr. Vellayan Subbiah, Executive Chaiman, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company

Because the future of Indian chess begins with access, opportunity and belief right here at home.
