off the field as well. We hope this association will help
us strengthen our multiple fan contact opportunities on web
and mobile platforms."

with Rajasthan Royals and entering into the IPL is the first
big step for us. We intend to partner with global champions
across different sporting arenas and work with them to enhance
their performance and operations on an ongoing basis,"
