Getting into online chess coaching in 2018, Mr. Sharan Rao always knew the next step to be opening an academy for offline classes. Young prodigies need the guidance and the environment to nurture their talent. Creating such environment for enthusiastic kids from Mangalore so they too can hone their skills is the vision of RCC. October 2023 marked the opening of the first branch of Rao’s Chess Corner in Ladyhill, Mangalore. Following high interest from the public, the second branch of Rao’s Chess Corner was established in March 2025 in Bejai, Mangalore. The third branch of Rao’s Chess Corner was established in July 2026 in Ranebennur, followed by our fourth branch in Ujire!
