ArtKonnect Management successfully curated and delivered the very first GMR Rugby Premier League Opening Ceremony in Mumbai. The team also managed the ground operations for the player auctions and organised the closing night celebrations, marking a significant milestone for rugby in India.
Rugby, known for its fast pace and fierce spirit, is set to attract a new audience across the country through this league. For ArtKonnect, this project was more than just event execution — it was about contributing to the growth of Indian sport.
From designing entertainment and ceremonial segments to managing live show flows and creating sports-focused experiences, ArtKonnect ensured every moment showcased the energy and excitement of rugby. With this successful debut, the company strengthens its commitment to delivering memorable experiences in India’s sports and entertainment scene, where passion and precision go hand in hand.
Anand Kanwar, Founder & Director, ArtKonnect said, “We are honoured to partner with GMR Sports once again, and deeply value the trust they’ve placed in us over the past 12 years. Having successfully executed large-format opening ceremonies for both cricket and football in India, stepping into the world of Rugby is both an exciting challenge and a proud moment for us. At ArtKonnect, we are always looking to explore new frontiers in the sports and entertainment landscape, and this collaboration marks yet another milestone in our journey.”
