AI-Inclusive Coaching. Corporate Excellence. Global Certifications.
Founded by Dhawal Khera — network engineer, finance professional, and rated chess player — Apex Chess India bridges analytical precision with strategic mastery. From young students to C-suite executives, we elevate minds one move at a time.
Dhawal Khera is a CSE Graduate (2012) who spent over a decade architecting enterprise networks for leading MNCs across Delhi NCR. A 2017 engagement with a top-tier banking client ignited a passion for finance — culminating in a deliberate transition to Operations & Finance at a prominent Life Insurance Company in October 2024.
This rare convergence of technical rigor, financial acumen, and strategic chess mastery forms the philosophical backbone of Apex Chess India — teaching not just the game, but the mindset.
Cutting-edge coaching methodology integrating AI analysis tools, engine evaluations, and pattern recognition technology to accelerate player development at every level.
Bespoke chess events for corporates that build strategic thinking, team cohesion, and leadership skills — from boardroom tournaments to leadership workshops.
Industry-recognized chess certifications for students, coaches, and institutions — structured assessment programs aligned with national and international standards.
Drawing from over a decade in enterprise networks and a career in finance, Dhawal brings a uniquely analytical lens to corporate chess programs. Chess isn't just a game — it is a system for decision-making under uncertainty.
Whether it's a team-building event for your department or a leadership workshop for your C-suite, Apex Chess India delivers experiences that are intellectually rigorous, professionally engaging, and genuinely memorable.
Whether you're a parent looking to enroll a child, a professional seeking coaching, or a corporate planning your next event — we'd love to hear from you.
