Speaking on the occasion, Virginia Sung, CEO, USATT, said, �We see great value and potential in bringing analytics tools for the benefit of our national team. Stupa�s tool is very effective and provides data-driven insights to the players & coaches. Their upcoming Artificial intelligence model will certainly bring a change the way Table Tennis is coached, played and viewed�
�USATT has a refreshing perspective and their foresight in trying to bring a transformative change through technology is commendable. We are honored to work closely with them,� said, Megha Gambhir, Co-founder & CEO, Stupa Sports Analytics. �Table tennis is a high-speed game, involving intense spin and rapid exchange of balls, therefore its complex to analyze. Our revolutionary product, a first of its kind in the world of Table Tennis captures data from matches & training, extrapolates it, to provide analysis and inferences in an interactive manner. By deploying next-gen technology, Artificial Intelligence, we are targeting to provide real-time data and statistical analysis to players/ coaches providing them with a new window to delve deeper into their game.�
Former National Coach of Indian Team, Co-founder and COO of Stupa Sports Analytics, Deepak Malik, who has been deeply involved in grass root level coaching with Pinnacle Table Tennis Academy, said, �I am delighted with where we have reached even though there is still a long way to go. We have experienced the power of this product practically as we saw a transformative change in the game of some leading Indian players who used it. A lot of games like Cricket, Tennis have products that provide deeper insights, but Table Tennis still relied on the manual method. That is about to change.�
