KUWAIT CITY, May 29: On 29th May 2002, Toastmaster (TM) Peter Banerjee, TM Santanu Das and Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) Anil Lobo founded Kuwait Challengers Clubs as a corporate club under the sponsorship of Al Mulla Group of Companies, and soon opened its doors to the community at large. The club thrived with a membership of dedicated members who strived to develop their personal communication and leadership skills and that of their fellow toastmasters.

A decade later another zealous toastmaster, DTM John Joseph along with DTM Anil Lobo and club coach DTM Alka Kumra, worked towards reviving and strengthening the club. The club since then bloomed into a reputed club and under the leadership of DTM Raymond Pereira grew leaps and bounds in membership, quality and packed meetings, and members personal growth. The club has achieved educational goals year after year to secure the President Distinguished Club status. The club also produced a district champion, DTM Nancy Vijo who won the Table Topics and Evaluation contest in April 2019.
With the onset of the pandemic Kuwait Challengers Club took the lead, being the first to conduct online meetings in Kuwait, paving the way for other clubs in Kuwait and worldwide. The club hosted Distinguished Toastmasters from around the world to conduct online training and workshops to benefit its members and toastmasters the world over.
