India marked a historic milestone with its first-ever participation at the POSA World Aerial Championships 2025, organised by the Pole Sports & Arts World Federation (POSA). Hosted in Budapest, the prestigious global championship brought together elite aerial and pole athletes from over 40 nations.

Representing the nation was Airbound Academy, Mumbai - a fully women-run aerial arts and pole fitness/sport academy - which fielded a dynamic contingent of 17 athletes aged between 6 and 32 years, making it the youngest and largest Indian delegation to date at an international aerial event.
