Pickleball Kingdom Expands to India with New Club in Gurugram

Pickleball Kingdom, renowned as the largest indoor pickleball organization globally, has officially launched its first club in India, located in Gurugram. This initiative marks a significant milestone for the company as it ventures into one of the world’s most promising markets for pickleball. The new facility, managed by BAQ Wizards under the leadership of Bhanu Gulati, Anuj Duggal, and Qudrath Ali, includes eight top-tier indoor courts that are set up for year-round play. This strategic move underscores the organization's commitment to establishing a solid foundation for the growth of pickleball in the country.

The club is situated at 354/2, Darbaripur Road, Darbaripur, Sector 70, Gurugram, Haryana 122101, designed to set a new gold standard for the sport in India. "The Kingdom has officially arrived in India," stated Ace Rodrigues, the founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom. "From day one, India was our top choice for international expansion, making this grand opening a monumental moment for our brand and the global pickleball community."

The club’s offerings extend far beyond the courts. It will have professional coaching, daily open play sessions, court reservations, leagues, tournaments, and community events, all aimed at building a vibrant pickleball community. One of the highlights is the complimentary 'Pickleball 101' program, which introduces new players to the sport in an accessible and welcoming manner. According to Bhanu Gulati, “We are not simply opening a club; we are starting a movement. Our vision encompasses making pickleball a sport for individuals of all ages and backgrounds across various cities, thus laying the groundwork for its sustainable growth in India.”

The initial feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many enthusiasts describing the experience as world-class. Anuj Duggal, another key member of the team, expressed satisfaction with the response: “Visitors during the launch week have called it a 'world-class playing experience.' Newcomers have shown much excitement during our Pickleball 101 classes, which is a great sign for our community-building efforts.”

Moreover, Qudrath Ali emphasized the infectious energy of pickleball, stating that the introduction of this sport brings inclusivity and excitement to India's sports landscape. He expressed a desire for people to reflect in the future and acknowledge this as the turning point for pickleball in India.

As the club opens its doors, the strategy for further expansion includes identifying new partnerships to propel the growth of pickleball across India. Pickleball Kingdom's President and Chief Global Officer, Rob Streett, highlighted the pivotal nature of launching in Gurugram as part of their global ambitions, noting that India is primed to become a significant player in the international pickleball arena.

Pickleball's popularity is surging in India, fueled by an already robust racquet sports culture and a growing emphasis on active lifestyles. The establishment of the Gurugram club is expected to provide accessibility to high-quality pickleball facilities and to contribute to the local sports environment significantly. The company aims to facilitate community engagement through various initiatives, including youth programs, tournaments, corporate partnerships, and franchise opportunities, thus enriching the overall sports culture in India.
