Mittu Chandilya, CEO,
Air Asia India has revealed his plans for his Champions Tennis League Team Bangalore
Raptors. Inga Chandilya, co-owner of Bangalore Raptors and Indian tennis legend
Vijay Amritraj joined Mittu at a press conference in Bangalore. Mittu Chandilya
has only recently acquired the Champions Tennis League franchise for Bangalore
while Champions Tennis League is India’s first international tennis league
launched by the Chandilyas in collaboration with Vijay Amritraj and All Indian
Tennis Association.
Bangalore’s latest
sports franchise named the Bangalore
Raptors got its name globally crowd-sourced from both online and
offline platforms. The Chandilyas cherished the idea of being
fierce, prompt and smart and thus went with the name. Inspired by the world’s
most famous breed of dinosaurs, the name of the Bangalore franchise specifies
the essence and roots of the team. With great picks from the sports
draft, Bangalore
Raptors brings home international experience coupled with native talent.
Eminent players from around the world are part of the team. Venus Williams,
Feliciano Lopez, Thomas Enqvist and Ramkumar Ramanathan are a few of them.
“This is the first sports venture that my wife
Inga and I are getting together as co-owners, the team is like our fourth
child. We have put in a lot of thought in choosing the team colors, designing
the logo and jersey. Blood Red and Midnight Black, signify the ferocity
of the Velociraptors, our team and the vibrant nature of the game. The three
claw scratches in the logo symbolize our three sons, who are growing up to love
the game of tennis,” Mittu Chandilya said.
Mittu has been a
former tennis player himself and was trained by the tennis legend Ramesh
Krishnan.
“It is a proud moment to gift the vibrant city
of Bangalore its own Tennis League team. Our fellow Bangaloreans can expect
fireworks, entertainment, fun and all-round energy from the Bangalore Raptors”,
he quoted.For more details: http://www.bangaloreraptors.com/
