Sania Mirza has signed up as brand ambassador for the Gurgaon Grand Slammers franchise in the Tennis Premier League ahead of its seventh season.
Hygiia Ventures, a Canadian-backed investment firm founded by Gaurav Agarwal, has acquired Gurgaon Grand Slammers.
TPL becomes the forth Indian sports league to successfully enter its seventh season, joining an elite group of long-running sporting leagues in India. Known for its fast-paced, viewer-friendly format and a mix of international stars and emerging Indian players, the league continues to attract top investors and global attention. Gurgaon Grand Slammers marks another international investment into the TPL ecosystem.
Gaurav Agarwal, whose ventures span digital research, consumer
intelligence, and global investments across 80+ companies, sees this move as a natural step.
“Sports always have a speacial respect 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 Gurgaon Grand Slammers in Tennis Premier League is a meaningful way for us to support emerging Indian talent while expanding our investments into sports and franchise management.”
Sania Mirza said she was thrilled to join with a team that values both talent and innovation. “Gaurav’s vision aligns perfectly with what Indian tennis needs—structured, long-term investment. I’m looking forward to support the Gurgaon Grand Slammers this season,” she said.
