About Me

I'm Shaurya Banga, a student at the American School of Bombay, continuing my journey of supporting OSCAR Foundation at the 2026 TATA Mumbai Marathon. Inspired by my parents' dedication to OSCAR, I've embraced the transformative power of sports through track, kickboxing and life lessons.

Appeal

Hello, I’m Shaurya Banga, a student at the American School of Bombay, and I will be supporting OSCAR Foundation at the 2026 TATA Mumbai Marathon, alongside my father, Gagan Banga.

This run holds special meaning for our family. My father lost a close friend, Sandeep, this year—someone who shared his deep commitment to supporting the next generation. We honour his memory and carry his blessings with us as we run for children who deserve opportunity, joy, and a fair chance at life.

OSCAR Foundation is a community-based Sports for Development (S4D) organisation that uses the power of football to help children stay in school and become resilient, future-ready individuals. Through its No School, No Football policy, OSCAR ensures that children from underserved communities receive football and life-skills sessions only if they attend school regularly. Since 2010, OSCAR has positively impacted over 35,000 children and youth across India through its Football & Life Skills and education programmes.

I discovered my passion for athletics through track and field. The thrill of racing down the track, the camaraderie with teammates, and the discipline the sport demanded left an indelible mark on my character. As I transitioned from track and field to kickboxing, I continued to embrace physical and mental challenges that taught me resilience, focus, and perseverance—lessons that extend far beyond sport.

My father, Gagan, shares this journey with me. As he says:
“I run for my love of running, and OSCAR takes care of little kids from under-resourced communities who are at risk of falling into vulnerabilities. If we can bring together my running, OSCAR’s work, and your belief in what we stand for, it can enable OSCAR to continue supporting thousands of young children to stay in school and play football. When we were children, play was joy; for them, it becomes a pathway to upliftment.”

OSCAR’s 2026 theme, “Building a playground where every child can play, learn and grow,” resonates strongly with us. It reflects a shared belief that every child, regardless of background, deserves safe spaces to learn, dream, and thrive.

We invite you to join us in this meaningful endeavour by generously contributing to my fundraising campaign. Every donation brings us one step closer to building a playground that will inspire joy, learning, and growth for countless children. Together, let’s champion this cause and support OSCAR in creating lasting positive change. Your generosity will not only impact the present but also pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.

Thank you for supporting my journey and contributing to this worthy cause.

In a world full of noise—where education is often undervalued—your commitment to nurturing young minds through the Oscar Foundation is truly inspiring. Education shapes better humans, sharpens wisdom, and strengthens the cognitive ability to think beyond algorithms. As the future moves toward machine intelligence, initiatives like yours ensure human intelligence, empathy, and values remain higher. Run strong, lead with heart, and keep transforming lives.
