Love the focus on grassroots development. Too often, talent from our villages goes unnoticed. If this venture truly provides systematic training and infrastructure, it could change lives. Best of luck to the Rohtak Royals!
As someone from the construction industry, it's heartening to see KMC Constructions investing in sport. Building stadiums and training centers is nation-building too. A solid partnership on paper, hope the execution matches the vision.
Another league? We have PKL which is already great. I hope this Kabaddi Champions League doesn't just dilute the talent pool and create confusion. The intent is good, but we need sustainable models, not just more franchises.
"Kheloge Kudoge Banoge Lajawaab" – what a perfect motto for this! Kabaddi is in our blood here. Seeing entrepreneurs like Gajendra Sharma and Aishwarya Bhargava back our traditional sport gives me hope. Let's create champions!
The collaboration with a construction company is smart. Hopefully, they'll invest in building proper academies and training facilities in Rohtak itself, not just fund the team. Grassroots needs physical roots—good infrastructure.
