Indian golf news
Indian golf is witnessing a turning point with the Professional Golf Tour of India bringing Amitabh Kant onto its Board and inviting international leaders Shantanu Narayen, Nikesh Arora, and Pradeep Bakshi as advisors. This fusion of national governance and global corporate vision sets the stage for exponential growth in the sport.
Amitabh Kant's contribution is expected to be pivotal. Known for his transformative policy-making, he has already drawn parallels between India's economic rise and the potential of Indian golf. His ability to create international partnerships will help PGTI secure both sponsorships and recognition on a worldwide scale.
Shantanu Narayen and Nikesh Arora bring with them the experience of leading global corporations, while Pradeep Bakshi offers deep knowledge of Indian business landscapes. Together, they provide the international credibility PGTI needs to take Indian golf beyond its traditional boundaries.
CEO Amandeep Singh Johl called this moment "a milestone that will shape the future of Indian golf for years to come." He also stressed that the leadership team will focus not only on elite players but also on grassroots development.
The involvement of Kapil Dev further strengthens the tour's appeal. His reputation as a national icon ensures that PGTI remains relatable to aspiring athletes.
This blend of global vision and local inspiration promises to make Indian golf a sport of pride and opportunity.
