MUMBAI: From the kabaddi mat to the morning jog, Technosport is championing movement everywhere. The homegrown activewear brand has teamed up with Dabang Delhi K.C., the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 franchise, to launch a dynamic campaign celebrating everyday athletes across India.
Titled Made in India. Made for Champions., the film draws parallels between the high-intensity moves of professional kabaddi players and the small yet powerful movements of daily life, whether it’s a sunrise push-up, a sprint to catch the bus, or the final gym rep that beats yesterday’s record. Every lunge, dive, and sprint tells a story of perseverance, discipline, and champion energy that doesn’t stop off the mat.
Technosport head of marketing Patralika Agrawal said, “Performance isn’t the privilege of a few. Our collaboration with Dabang Delhi brings to life the spirit that drives everyday champions across India. From arena to street, we empower every movement with innovation, comfort, and durability.”

IndiGo names William Walsh CEO
Former IATA chief to take charge in August after Elbers exit, Bhatia steers interim
India’s biggest airline has moved fast and gone global. InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, has tapped aviation heavyweight William Walsh as chief executive officer, subject to regulatory approvals, marking a sharp pivot as the carrier eyes its next burst of expansion.
Walsh, currently director general at the International Air Transport Association, will step down on July 31, 2026, and is expected to take charge by August 3. The appointment comes barely three weeks after Pieter Elbers exited the corner office, with Rahul Bhatia holding the fort in the interim.
The choice signals intent. Walsh brings decades of cockpit-to-boardroom experience, having led British Airways and later International Airlines Group, the parent of Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. His tenure across carriers has been defined by hard resets, restructurings and cross-border consolidation—skills IndiGo may need as competition intensifies and scale becomes decisive.
Vikram Singh Mehta, chairman and non-executive independent director of IndiGo, said Walsh’s experience in managing large-scale airline operations and navigating complex market dynamics makes him well-suited to lead IndiGo in an increasingly competitive global aviation environment, adding that the appointment marks a new chapter as the airline scales in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
Rahul Bhatia said Walsh’s global perspective, operational expertise and customer-focused approach would be critical as IndiGo enters its next phase of expansion.
Walsh, widely regarded as one of the industry’s most influential figures, will oversee overall management and strategic direction, with a mandate spanning operational performance, network expansion, commercial strategy and customer experience. He is expected to work closely with the board and leadership team to sharpen IndiGo’s growth trajectory.
Walsh said IndiGo has a strong foundation and is well-positioned to capitalise on the evolving aviation landscape, adding that he looks forward to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation and sustainable value creation across the organisation.
A new captain, a bigger runway—and a market that rewards scale. IndiGo is lining up for its next take-off.
