Promoting and nurturing potential talent at the grass-root level in around the capital has been its social objective

Overview

Incorporated in 2008, the division was initiated with the belief that sports provides a connect with the community at large. Cricket particularly is celebrated in the country, and to be associated with the sport was the group’s first initiative.

The capital’s IPL franchise, Delhi Capitals, marked the beginning of this venture, followed by the Uttar Pradesh (UP) franchise of the Pro - Kabaddi league - UP Yodha. With a number of local kabaddi tournaments in the region, finding fresh and new local talent is part of the long-term agenda of the business.
