FOUNDER

Meet the Founder

Hello, I am Rajendra Kamath. I grew up in Anushaktinagar (the very same place Suryakumar Yadav hails from!), Mumbai, a place known for its fantastic sports facilities. It's where my passion for sports began.

I moved to the USA and then to Bengaluru, where I instilled a love for football in my children. In 2023, both my sons earned football scholarships at US universities. This journey taught me valuable lessons on the process.

Now, I want to share these insights with parents who aim to send their talented kids to the USA on sports scholarships. That is why I founded FINAL THIRD.
