Capgemini to support growth of professional rugby in India


Capgemini has been named transformation partner for India’s first Rugby Premier League. In collaboration with Indian Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and GMR Sports, Capgemini would help shape the Rugby Premier League, ushering in a new era for professional rugby in India, the company said on Wednesday. The GMR Rugby Premier League (RPL) would be played in a Rugby 7s format and as the official transformation partner, Capgemini would help to enhance player performance, uplift players’ social and sports profiles, and increase grassroots participation in rugby.

Capgemini’s association with rugby spans over 30 years globally, and this new collaboration with GMR RPL is an extension of its previous India engagement, as the associate sponsor for the Rugby 7s Women & Girls and the Rugby 7s Men & Boys teams, as per a company communique.

Ashwin Yardi, CEO of Capgemini in India, said, “Sports is a key pillar of our global engagement and our partnership with IRFU and GMR sports for RPL has further strengthened our commitment to inclusion on and off the field. We aim to make rugby in India more inclusive and accessible, supporting player development from grassroots to the professional level.”
