Grand slammers

Tennis Premier League: Gurgaon Grand Slammers have been added to the Tennis Premier League (TPL) as the new franchise ahead of its seventh season.

Hygiia Ventures, a Canadian-backed investment firm founded by entrepreneur Gaurav Agarwal, has acquired the Gurgaon franchise. Legendary tennis icon Sania Mirza joins as their brand ambassador.

"Sports have always held a special place in my heart, not just as a father to a passionate young tennis player but also as someone who admires the discipline it brings. Acquiring a team in the Tennis Premier League is a meaningful way for us to support emerging Indian talent while expanding our investments into sports and franchise management," Agarwal said.
