Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) is India's first privately-funded high performance training centre for athletes.

[2] According to Parth Jindal, the founder of IIS, the inspiration for starting the institute came from Abhinav Bindra's gold-medal win at the 2008 Summer Olympics.

The construction of the institute began in 2014 in a hillock area in Vijayanagar, about 30 km away from Hampi and adjacent to JSW Group's Vidyanagar township.

[5] IIS is recognized by Sports Authority of India as a Khelo India-accredited development centre for boxing and wrestling.

The facility, however, had been under use for over a year before the inauguration; among the athletes who have undergone training and rehab at IIS include Vinesh Phogat and Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra.
