Abhishek was a self-taught skateboarder who took up the sport in 2010. He founded the HolyStoked Collective in 2011, one of the biggest skate shops in Bangalore. But why did Abhishek drag Atita towards the skate park? Well, Abhishek and his fellow skaters who were close to just 6 people in total observed that they are the first set of skaters in India apart from two or three who started to skate before them.
'I just wanted some girl power', Abhishek recollects his thought of getting girls into the sport. And for him, Verghese turned out to be a great choice. Initially, without her own board, Atita had to wait for other skaters at the park to take breaks and then borrowed their boards. Eventually, by the end of 2013, Abhishek had a surplus of skateboards and gifted them to the serious players and Verghese was given one. The skatepark that was exclusively male-dominated had hardly any girl skateboarders. Two other girls came along "for a short time" before dropping out, Atita says.
In A Thirst To Contribute Her Part:
Atita didn't want to do the skateboarding just for fun. She thus started working with HolyStoked and organized skateboarding classes in Bangalore.
She desperately wanted to conduct events in other regions to introduce the sport to more people in the country. In such a scenario, she happened to meet Lisa Jacob, a Paris-based skateboarder in 2014. Lisa was advised to get in touch with Verghese who was in Kovalam, Kerala, building a skate park with Sebastian Indian Social Projects (SISP), a local NGO that uses skateboarding and surfing as incentives to get school dropouts back to the classroom along with Jacob and a Netherlands-based skateboarder Louisa Menke. They met and spoke about how skateboarding can be brought into spotlight on the Indian dais. The result of the brainstorming is the birth of Girl Skate India, an international collective of female skaters who engage with underprivileged youngsters through skating, in 2015.
In December 2015, the group organised the first-ever tour of female skaters across India, featuring 12 women from nine countries. In this self-funded project, the group travelled to Kovalam, Bangalore, Goa and Hampi, where they held skate workshops and skate yoga lessons, as well as built skating ramps.
I learned how to use the tools and how long to wait for the concrete and the different steps that go into actually building a concrete skate park. After that there was a whole fire spreading across the country because people just wanted to build more and more, says Verghese.

I wanted more girls to come skate, and spread the word so that hopefully it would get other girls interested, said the passionate skateboarder.
"I think this tour kicked things off faster and gave me a wider reach, as there were people from nine different countries on it. "(People) absolutely loved what I did. I was shocked ... I didn't know how big it was going to end up being.", she said.
Girl Skate India released a short film on their work that was shown in 20 locations worldwide." I think it was important to show the rest of the community what we were doing because otherwise they wouldn't know.” she said.
Verghese continues to work with various organizations all over the world as a volunteer including the international non-profit Make Life Skate Life that has built free skate parks in Bolivia, Jordan, Ethiopia, Myanmar, and India. She also associated herself with
