Mumbai, March 15: Grave8Sports has officially launched the Resilient CXO Pickleball League, marking India’s first pickleball league specifically designed for CXOs and senior corporate leaders. This innovative initiative combines high-level business networking with the rapidly growing sport of pickleball, providing corporate leaders with an exceptional platform to connect beyond the boardroom.
The league’s inaugural phase took place in Mumbai, featuring corporate leaders from Barclays, Hiranandani Group, English Premier League, HDFC Ergo, DSK Legal, and more. In Delhi, the league has attracted several major global brands, including Google, Adidas, Hitachi, KPMG, and Spotify.
One of the CXOs, Amarjeet Singh Batra, expressed, “This league represents a new shift in the world of pickleball. It is bridging the gap between business and sports. I am proud to be a part of this league, and Grave8Sports should take pride in what they have created.”
Following its successful launch in Mumbai, the tour will move to Delhi on March 14, followed by stops in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. The top four teams from each city will qualify for the grand finals in Goa, where the national champion will be crowned.
Olympic medalist and former world number one player Saina Nehwal is the face of the Resilient CXO Pickleball League. Her star power and exceptional sportsmanship are adding a unique charm to this initiative.
Saina Nehwal stated, “The Resilient CXO Pickleball League is the first of its kind in India. I am thrilled to be part of this India tour. RJ Anmol’s vision for premium sports networking, combined with the partnership with Hiranandani Group, is a significant win for Grave8Sports.”
The concept for this league comes from Grave8Sports founder RJ Anmol, who believes that sports can play a crucial role in strengthening professional networks.
Anmol remarked, “Through the Resilient CXO Pickleball League, we aimed to create a unique platform where India’s business leaders can come together through sports, competition, and camaraderie.”
