About TIEKA’s CEO:

Kunal Khatri is a footballer and entrepreneur from Brisbane, Australia, who combines his love for the game with a vision to inspire the next generation of players. Having captained his teams and represented his district, Kunal understands the dedication, discipline, and hard work required to perform at the highest level. His football journey has shaped not only his skills on the pitch but also his mindset off it — focused, innovative, and driven to make an impact.

Recognising a gap in the market for affordable, high-quality football gear designed with real players in mind, Kunal launched his own football brand. His goal is simple: to create gear that supports players of all ages to perform, improve, and believe in their potential. Every product is guided by his firsthand experience as an athlete — combining performance, comfort, and durability with a modern, player-focused design.

Beyond business, Kunal is passionate about leadership and community. He believes football teaches lessons that go far beyond the field — teamwork, respect, and perseverance — values he brings into his brand and daily life. His mission is to not only build a trusted name in football equipment but also to motivate young athletes to dream bigger and think differently.

For Kunal, football isn’t just a sport; it’s a platform for growth, innovation, and connection. Through his brand, he aims to redefine what it means to be a modern athlete — one who competes with passion, leads with purpose, and gives back to the game that shaped him.

“Football teaches you to be calm when everything moves fast — that’s how I play, and that’s how I live.” – Kunal Khatri
