MEET THE FOUNDER & ORGANISER
Chhaba Foundation Trust • 6th Edition Kamothe Half Marathon 2026
DAMODAR BAJIRAO CHAVAN
Founder, Chhaba Foundation Trust
National Basketball Player | 100+ Marathons Runner
Mr. Damodar Bajirao Chavan, Founder of CHHABA Foundation Trust, is an entrepreneur, businessman, and passionate fitness enthusiast with a deep commitment to giving back to society. A national-level basketball player and an accomplished marathoner, he has completed 100+ marathons over the past several years, making fitness an integral part of his life and journey.
With a strong belief that "education is one of the most powerful tools to transform lives and shape the future of our country", Mr. Chavan envisioned bringing together his passion for fitness and his compassion for society. This vision gave birth to CHHABA Foundation Trust, where every stride towards fitness is also a stride towards creating educational opportunities for underprivileged children.
Over the past six years, CHHABA Foundation Trust has supported the educational journeys of 1,000+ underprivileged children. Through the foundation’s unique connection between running and education, every marathon stride becomes an opportunity to reach a child in need.
Alongside his philanthropic work, Mr. Chavan successfully leads Human Resources Private Limited, an HR consultancy, continuing his dedicated journey of entrepreneurship, fitness, and social impact.
