Why We Work in Sports and Culture
Shared celebration builds shared identity. Whether it’s a badminton match or a Holi mela, events like these create belonging across communities in Greater Whitefield region.
The Sports & Culture vertical is one of the youngest—but already one of the most energising. Through tournaments, festivals, and youth platforms, we bring people together to participate, perform, and connect.
