Scientific talent identification for Indian sport — sports science, biometrics and AI that turn objective measurement into selection decisions.
XIFT Academy & Research is a sports talent identification and research organisation. We build the measurement systems, analytics and partnerships that help India find athletes early and place them in the right sport.
Identify talent from age 5, including para-athletes, and support its path to Olympic, Paralympic and Special Olympics podiums.
An Indian sports ecosystem capable of 10 Olympic gold medals, built on science, technology and research.
Talent is everywhere. Venture S4 makes sure it is measured in every school — not only in the few with coaches and laboratories.
AI technologyModels that learn from every assessment

Biometric analyticsComputer vision and IoT measurement
Performance intelligenceEvidence for every selection decision
Science, research and delivery.
Software, analytics and dashboards.
Assessor certification and quality.
Computer vision & IoT capturePrecise, reliable data — measured by sensors and cameras, not stopwatches and tape.
Fitness testing treated as evidence, not a pass/fail exercise.
Build, strength, speed, endurance and control — measured with standard protocols.
Results placed on age- and sex-specific growth curves, so every child is compared fairly.
Growth lines and fitness profiles feed models that estimate future performance.
One index of potential — the measurable capacity of each athlete's biological engine.
Through the biological engine — fitness and growth-rate data.
From performance and physiological metrics.
Modelling that projects national and international readiness.
Five capacities, five standard field tests.
Ape Index, Cormic Index and Heath-Carter somatotype match each build to the sports it suits.
Maturity offset around peak height velocity protects late developers from early-maturer bias.
Ranks each athlete's top three best-suited sports — objectively.
Objective data, not a single trial day, decides progression between tiers.
An analytics platform that follows each athlete over time, and a research programme that keeps it rigorous.
