Arjun is addressing Transphobia and LGBTQ+ inclusion through football

After understanding the severity of transphobia in Indian society, Arjun founded Kicking Gender Boundaries when he was 16. They conduct football matches as a medium to promote inclusivity and breaking taboos. Arjun and his team organized a first-of-its-kind gender-inclusive match wherein they sponsored 9 trans football players. By partnering with a nationally renowned football training academy and with LGBTQ+ support organisations they conduct various workshops and training programs. As of Dec 2020, the initiative has reached more than 2000 people from the trans community in India.
