Zabarvan Snowy Mountains

This is Zabarvan

We're obsessed with fueling the rise of mountain sports in India.

It Started With Some Observations

  • India has some of the world's mightiest mountains—a natural playground for adventure.
  • Mountain sports in the country remain underdeveloped. Quality gear is hard to come by, and imports come with steep taxes.
  • Good gear alone doesn't cut it. Building a movement takes more. It takes a community. A purpose.

So, We Took Charge

It began in 2022: late nights, endless brainstorming, and prototypes tossed aside because "great" wasn't good enough. In November 2023, Zabarvan launched with gloves and goggles. By June 2024, we were directly funding athletes. Things moved fast.

Then came the wins. Podium finishes. Athletes became ambassadors for the gear they trusted.

Today, Zabarvan is a self-sustaining force. Our gear and sponsorship drive athletes to break limits, inspiring more adventurers along the way.

A revolution is rising in India's mountain sports scene.

We Believe In The Power Of Homegrown

For too long, "international is better" has been the norm in the adventure gear scene. We set out to change that. Built for India's mountains, Zabarvan's gear leans on local R&D and expertise while holding its own against the best in the world. It looks good, feels great, and performs even better—all without the sky-high price tags.

Over time, we'll bring even more of our manufacturing home.

Bigger Than Gear
And Sponsorships

We're here to do more than just fund and equip mountain sports in India. We're building a culture where athletes thrive and newcomers fall in love with the outdoors.

That's why we're hosting events—competitive and community-driven—where people learn just by being together. Courses for all levels will ensure no one feels like they're doing this alone.

India has the mountains. It's time we built the culture to match.

Subtle Textured Background

In The Founder's Words

"I've always loved skiing and the mountains, but finding good gear was a constant struggle. When you see folks in the country passionate about something but held back by access, you know something has to change."

"Zabarvan wasn't just born out of necessity; it was born out of a desire to see Indian adventure sports grow. We started small in 2017, and today our hope has transformed into a thriving community."

"It all comes down to one thing: giving back the mountains what they gave us. A life of adventure."
