Pickleball Kingdom is set to make a significant mark in Tennessee by launching two new indoor pickleball facilities in Chattanooga and Memphis.
These facilities, led by franchisees Bappa Mukherji, Anjali Mukherji Doria and Jake Doria, will offer climate-controlled indoor courts, lounge areas, comprehensive training programs for adults and kids, and suited for hosting a range of community and corporate events.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Bappa, Anjali, and Jake, whose dedication to excellence and community-building reflects the core values of Pickleball Kingdom,” said Rob Streett, COO of Pickleball Kingdom. “Their track record in fostering growth and their shared passion for pickleball will undoubtedly elevate the player experience and play a crucial role in our continued success and expansion.”
Anjali is the executive director of the Dava Foundation, where she helps open and operate charities for rural hospitals. Additionally, she is the chairman and president of Coffee Cares, a local non-profit that helps relieve medical debt in Coffee County, TN. With experience in franchise start-ups and organizing charity events, including a pickleball tournament for Utah’s youth, Anjali brings a wealth of expertise.
Jake, a healthcare professional, has extensive business experience and oversees provider enrollment and financial reporting. Jake’s passion for pickleball led him to create a non-profit pickleball tournament with proceeds supporting youth suicide prevention. With a passion for pickleball and community engagement, he is determined to give back to the area and help Pickleball Kingdom become a staple in the community.
