Rookie Indian Parkour, which uses the initialism RIP for its own name rather than as a comment on its condition, is a parkour and freerunning group based in Thakur Village, Kandivali East. It is the most consistently active of the Mumbai groups recorded here, running weekly Sunday sessions and posting through July 2026.

An introduction post from July 2023 names the group as Manmohan Varma, a movement coach who gives fifteen years of experience in parkour and gymnastics; Hardik Negi, a coach and film maker; a member who goes by Chang, coaching since 2015; Amey P. Upadhyay; and Shardul, whose surname is not recorded.

The same post names the group’s training venues as Mumbai Movement Academy and Vanarshala, a relationship confirmed by their own video of a gym session at the former.

They attended the National Parkour League at Pune in 2019, thanking Team MYOW in the title of their video of it. They have also trained with Windcatz on two occasions, in 2018 and 2019, and appear alongside Parkour Ahmedabad and Team Motion in a video filmed at Deccan Movement Centre in Hyderabad.
