Sudeep Facts

1. In 2013, to mark World AIDS Day, he collaborated with several actors to record voiceovers for the interactive software of TeachAids, a nonprofit social enterprise that develops health education technology products for HIV/AIDS, concussions, and COVID-19, based on an approach invented at Stanford University.
2. In June 2021, he and several other celebrities had participated in ‘Checkmate Covid’, a charity event where they played a series of friendly chess games hosted by former world chess champion Viswanathan Anand. Although Sudeep lost his game, his play was quite sophisticated which raised suspicions on online platforms that he was cheating using chess engines.
3. Soon after this incident, Sudeep’s account on chess.com was suspended, temporarily. Anand had to come to his rescue by stating that he felt that the games were played in good faith and, perhaps, some participants had not fully understood/appreciated the rules and ethics of online chess.
4. He has served as the captain of the Karnataka Bulldozers team that competes in the Celebrity Cricket League, an amateur men’s cricket league in India.
5. In 2013, he launched an event management company called Stage 360°.
