Do I need special equipment?

No — just your smartphone. Mount it high behind the baseline with the full court in frame, or have a friend hold it. Higher, steadier angles give the AI more to work with.

How accurate is the AI analysis?

Kreeda is purpose-built for badminton - it measures your shots, footwork and court coverage from your video, and every number comes from what actually happened on court. It keeps improving with every analysis.

Can I use this if I'm a complete beginner?

Absolutely! Kreeda works for all skill levels from beginner to semi-pro. The AI adjusts feedback based on your level.

What if I don't have a coach?

That's the beauty of Kreeda-you don't need one to start. The AI gives you actionable feedback. When you're ready, connect with coaches in our marketplace.

Does it work offline?

You can record offline and upload when you have internet. Analysis requires connection but usually finishes in a couple of minutes.

What video format should I use?

Any format works! MP4, MOV, AVI—our system handles it. Keep clips up to 2 minutes for best results.

Is it also for doubles?

Not yet - Kreeda analyses singles rallies today, which is where it's sharpest. Doubles is in active testing and launches in October, bringing partner play and full-court coverage with it.

India Open 2026: Champions, Upsets, and What It Means for the Season

The India Open 2026 in New Delhi delivered a week of fast-paced, high-quality badminton, blending dominant performances with unexpected breakthroughs. While top seeds held their ground in several categories, the tournament ultimately belonged to players who adapted better under pressure.

Men's Singles: Lin Chun-Yi's Breakthrough Run

Chinese Taipei's Lin Chun-Yi emerged as the standout story of the tournament, claiming the men's singles title with an aggressive, high-speed game. He defeated Jonatan Christie in straight games in the final, capping off a remarkable run that included wins over Lakshya Sen and Viktor Axelsen.

What set Lin apart was his ability to constantly increase the pace of rallies, forcing opponents into uncomfortable positions.

Women's Singles: An Se-young in Complete Control

World No.1 An Se-young dominated the tournament, defeating Wang Zhi Yi in the final with complete control and composure.

Key Takeaways

Modern badminton continues to reward players who combine tactical intelligence with consistency. The India Open set the tone for a faster, smarter season ahead.

At the highest level, badminton is about making the right decision at the right moment.

The other story of the week

It would be dishonest to write about this tournament without the part that travelled furthest. Play was halted twice on 15 January when pigeons fouled the court during HS Prannoy’s match, a monkey turned up in the stands, and several players criticised the conditions publicly. The venue has since had roughly ₹20 crore of work ahead of the World Championships — we wrote about how they fixed it.
