At Team Mangalore, we believe that kites are more than just paper, sticks, and string—they are stories waiting to be told in the sky. What started as a childhood passion for a group of like-minded individuals has now grown into a mission to keep culture, creativity, and community soaring high above the ordinary.

Team Mangalore was founded by Mr. Sarvesh Rao, whose vision brought together individuals who shared a common bond: a love for kite flying and a deep appreciation for India’s rich artistic heritage. Over the years, our team has grown into a vibrant collective of artists, engineers, thinkers, and dreamers, united by determination, craftsmanship, and the sheer joy of flight.

Our specialty lies in designing and creating large, unique kites that reflect the vibrant folklore, mythology, and traditions of India. Each kite we make is more than a flight-worthy creation—it’s a tribute to the stories and spirit of our land. From mythological characters to folk art forms and historical symbols, our kites are crafted with care to celebrate the diversity and beauty of Indian culture.

But Team Mangalore is more than just its core members. We are proud to be supported by a wider community that shares our vision. The Youth Hostel Association of India – Mangalore, employees of Guru Winders, and the families and friends of our team members all play invaluable roles—helping us organize, build, travel, and spread our message far and wide.

Over the years, Team Mangalore has participated in numerous national and international kite festivals, representing not just our hometown, but the spirit of India on a global stage. We see each event as an opportunity—not only to fly our kites, but also to connect cultures, build friendships, and inspire the next generation of kite lovers.
