Bengaluru, June 2: Shriram Finance Limited (SFL), the flagship company of the Shriram Group, today announced its alliance with the Padukone School of Badminton (PSB) as the Presenting Sponsor.

The collaboration was unveiled by Mr. Umesh Revankar, Executive Vice Chairman, Shriram Finance along with legendary Indian badminton champion and PSB founder Padma Shri Prakash Padukone at the Padukone-Dravid Centre of Sports Excellence, Bengaluru.

Through this alliance, SFL reinforces its commitment to nation-building through financial inclusion and community development — extending its reach to sports and grassroots talent across the country. As part of the collaboration, all existing and future PSB centres across India will operate under the name “Shriram Finance presents Padukone School of Badminton.” The initiative aims to strengthen access to structured badminton training at the grassroots level across age groups and aspiring players across the country.

Key Highlights of the Alliance

• Apparel Sponsorship: Over 2,000 branded T-shirts to be distributed to players, coaches, and support staff across PSB academies
• Tournament Sponsorship: 13 Open Tournaments under Shriram Finance’s presenting sponsorship, along with 2 All India Yonex tournaments as the “Powered By” sponsor

For over four decades, Shriram Finance has been a trusted financial partner to small entrepreneurs, retail borrowers, and underserved communities across India. This alliance with PSB is a natural extension of that ethos — investing in human potential beyond the balance sheet and reaching communities where they live, work, and play.

Mr. Umesh Revankar, Executive Vice Chairman, Shriram Finance, speaking on the occasion, said, “At Shriram Finance, we have always believed in creating meaningful impact within the communities we serve. Our alliance with the Padukone School of Badminton reflects that commitment. Through this initiative, we hope to encourage and inspire young players across the country to pursue the sport with dedication, discipline, and confidence, while helping strengthen the grassroots sporting ecosystem in India.”

Padukone School of Badminton currently operates 75 centres across 18 Indian cities, offering professional coaching and training programmes designed to nurture young talent and encourage wider participation in the sport.

Padma Shri Prakash Padukone, Founder, Mentor & Director, Padukone School of Badminton, speaking on the occasion, said, “We are delighted to welcome Shriram Finance as the Presenting Sponsor of the Padukone School of Badminton. This alliance is built on a shared vision of nurturing talent at the grassroots level and making quality badminton coaching accessible to aspiring players across India. With Shriram Finance’s support, we look forward to expanding our reach further and creating a stronger platform for young athletes to learn, grow, and pursue the sport with the right guidance and infrastructure.”

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು: ಗ್ರಾಮೀಣ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್‌ಗೆ ಹೊಸ ಆಯಾಮ ನೀಡುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ, ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಭಾರತದ ಮೊದಲ T10 ಟೆನಿಸ್ ಬಾಲ್ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ ಟೂರ್ನಮೆಂಟ್ ಆದ ಸದರನ್ ಸ್ಟ್ರೀಟ್ ಪ್ರೀಮಿಯರ್ ಲೀಗ್ (SSPL) ಚೆನ್ನೈನಲ್ಲಿ ಶುಕ್ರವಾರ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ಸಮಾರಂಭದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಅಧಿಕೃತವಾಗಿ ಚಾಲನೆ ಪಡೆಯಿತು. ಈ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದ ಮೂಲಕ ತಮಿಳುನಾಡು, ಕೇರಳ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ, ಆಂಧ್ರಪ್ರದೇಶ, ತೆಲಂಗಾಣ, ಪುದುಚೇರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಗೋವಾದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಹರಡಿರುವ ಕಚ್ಚಾ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಗಳನ್ನು ಗುರುತಿಸಿ, ಅವರಿಗೆ ವೇದಿಕೆ ಒದಗಿಸಲು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.


3 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳ ಆಕರ್ಷಕ ಬಹುಮಾನದೊಂದಿಗೆ SSPL ಗಲ್ಲಿಯ ಹೀರೋಗಳನ್ನು ಕ್ರೀಡಾಂಗಣದ ಸೂಪರ್‌ಸ್ಟಾರ್‌ಗಳಾಗಿ ಪರಿವರ್ತಿಸುವ ಗುರಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ, ಇದು ಭಾರತೀಯ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಟದ ದಿಕ್ಕನ್ನೇ ಬದಲಿಸುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಅನಾವರಣ ಸಮಾರಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಲೀಗ್‌ನ ಅಧಿಕೃತ ಲೋಗೋ, ಸ್ಫೂರ್ತಿದಾಯಕ ಗೀತೆ ಮತ್ತು 5 ಅಡಿ ಎತ್ತರದ ಆಕರ್ಷಕ ಟ್ರೋಫಿಯನ್ನು ಅನಾವರಣಗೊಳಿಸಲಾಯಿತು, ಇದು ಮುಂಬರುವ ರೋಮಾಂಚಕ ಋತುವಿಗೆ ಭರವಸೆಯ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶ ನೀಡಿತು.


ಎಂ.ಎಸ್. ಧೋನಿ ಮತ್ತು ವಿರಾಟ್ ಕೊಹ್ಲಿಯಂತಹ ಹಲವು ಭಾರತೀಯ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ ದಿಗ್ಗಜರ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಭದ್ರ ಬುನಾದಿ ಹಾಕಿಕೊಟ್ಟ ಟೆನಿಸ್ ಬಾಲ್ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್‌ನ ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಸ್ವರೂಪವನ್ನು ಎಸ್ಎಸ್ಪಿಎಲ್ ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಭಾರತದ ಆರು ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಒಂದು ಕೇಂದ್ರಾಡಳಿತ ಪ್ರದೇಶವನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ಈ ಲೀಗ್, ಗಲ್ಲಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿರುವ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಯನ್ನು ರಚನಾತ್ಮಕ ವೇದಿಕೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಹೊರತರಲು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಿದೆ. ಇದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಿಂಚಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡುವುದಲ್ಲದೆ, ಗಲ್ಲಿಗಳಿಂದ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂಭಾವ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಅಂತರರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಕ್ರೀಡಾಂಗಣಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಾಲಿಡಲು ದಾರಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಡಲಿದೆ.


ಒಂದು ತಿಂಗಳಿಗೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಕಾಲ ನಡೆಯುವ ಈ ಟೂರ್ನಮೆಂಟ್‌ಗಾಗಿ ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಯು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಕಠಿಣವಾಗಿರಲಿದೆ. ಇದು ಮಹಾನಗರ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹಾನಗರೇತರ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂರು-ಹಂತದ ಮೌಲ್ಯಮಾಪನವನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಎಸ್ಎಸ್ಪಿಎಲ್ ಪಾರದರ್ಶಕತೆ ಮತ್ತು ನ್ಯಾಯಯುತ ಆಟಕ್ಕೆ ಆದ್ಯತೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ, ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಆಟದ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಣೆಗಾಗಿ ವೀಡಿಯೊ ರೆಕಾರ್ಡಿಂಗ್ ಮತ್ತು ಇತ್ತೀಚಿನ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

The final day featured four intense matchups, with Chennai Falcons emerging as champions, followed by Mumbai Grizzlies as runners-up and Delhi Sharks finishing in third place.

Beyond the gameplay, the finale also saw all franchise owners committing to a three-year journey with GEPL — reflecting their strong belief in the league’s format, its future potential, and its growing relevance in the rapidly evolving esports landscape.

The finale drew participation from a strong slate of stakeholders, including actor and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty (Owner – Pune Stallions), investor and philanthropist Sara Tendulkar (Owner – Mumbai Grizzlies), Peyush Bansal, Founder & CEO of Lenskart (Owner – Delhi Sharks), Nikhil Kamath, Co-founder of Zerodha, Ankit Nagori, Curefoods Founder, and Prashant Prakash, Accel India partner  (Co-owners – Bengaluru Badgers), and Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman of TVS Capital Funds Limited, Madhusudanan R, Chairman of TVS Capital Funds Limited, Arjun Santhanakrishnan, Group CEO GS Global Group (Co-owners – Chennai Falcons), and Amit Mehta, Director, LNB Group (Owner – Hyderabad Rhinos).

Commenting on the commitment, Suniel Shetty said, “This isn’t a one-off investment — this is a belief in the future of sport itself. With GEPL, we’re witnessing the convergence of cricket’s legacy with digital sport’s future. A three-year commitment is just the beginning; we’re in it to build a platform that inspires, engages, and scales.”

Arjun Santhanakrishnan added, “When we came on board, we saw promise. Today, we see proof. The gameplay, the fan response, the infrastructure — GEPL has laid a strong foundation. A long-term commitment wasn’t a tough decision; it’s a strategic one, because the future of esports in India will be defined by formats like these.”

Reflecting on the symbolic nature of the finale being held in Bengaluru, Ankit Nagori said, “Bengaluru has always been a city that backs the future — and eCricket is very much part of that. GEPL isn’t just a tournament; it’s an ecosystem. Committing to three more seasons is about backing that vision and giving it room to grow.”

Sara Tendulkar, who has been involved since the early stages of Season 2, shared, “GEPL excites me for the opportunities it brings to dream big in e-sports. What has drawn me to the league is its focus on youth, giving them the freedom to be themselves and find their niche. Being from Mumbai, my connect with the city’s franchise – Mumbai Grizzlies, was instant. There is a lot of potential in India for e-sports, and we’ve only just got started”

Speaking from a business and innovation perspective, Peyush Bansal said, “Our goal is simple: To ensure that gamers can enjoy their passion without compromising their eye health. The digital gaming community is growing rapidly and so is the need for high-performance eyewear that helps them hustle through extended gameplay sessions. We want gamers to play at their best, and we are committed to building eyewear that enables that.”

Amit Mehta shared, “eCricket is creating a new kind of athlete — one that’s digital-first but driven by the same passion and discipline as traditional sport. GEPL’s structure and community focus make it a meaningful platform to invest in. Our commitment is about backing young talent, early, and consistently.”

Rajan Navani, Founder & CEO of JetSynthesys, said, “Season 2 has shown us what’s possible when a strong format meets long-term thinking. With some of the country’s most respected business and young minds backing GEPL for the next three years, we’re not just building a league — we’re laying the foundation for a new kind of sport in India. The commitment we’ve seen this season sets the tone for the chapters to come.”

Rohit Potphode, CEO, GEPL, said, “With every season of GEPL, we’re seeing stronger participation, deeper engagement, and growing belief in eCricket as a legitimate, mainstream format. The commitment shown by all franchise owners reinforces the long-term vision we’ve always had for this league.”

With Season 2 wrapped, GEPL now enters its next phase with clarity and commitment. Backed by franchise owners for the long haul, the league is poised to grow deeper, sharper, and more influential in shaping the future of eCricket in India.
