At just 27, HH Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur, affectionately known as Pacho, is leading a quiet revolution in the world of polo. Under his leadership, the Jaipur Polo Team has returned to the forefront of global polo, clinching 12 out of 14 finals in the 2024-25 season. His efforts have not only revived the historic team, but are reshaping the sport’s future in India and beyond, while positioning Jaipur as a polo powerhouse once again.

From the sun-kissed fields of Rajasthan to the prestigious turf of Guards Polo Club in the UK, where the Jaipur Polo Team lifted the historic Jaipur Trophy in July 2025, Pacho is bringing both a legacy and a bold new vision to polo. In the span of just over a year, the team’s transformation has caught the attention of polo fans and players worldwide, while rejuvenating a sport once synonymous with royalty in India. And at the center of it all stands a young Maharaja whose leadership combines grace, grit, and a deep sense of purpose.
