The Pro Panja League Season 2 kicked off in style with a grand opening ceremony in Gwalior, brought to life by ArtKonnect Management. This marks their second year in a row curating the league’s opening, and the event was a high-energy mix of sports, entertainment, and star power.
Held at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Training Centre for Disability Sports, the ceremony saw an exciting Panja face-off between wrestling icon The Great Khali and boxing champion Vijender Singh, with popular Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav adding his humour as the mediator. All three stars were also introduced as official Team Ambassadors for Sher E Ludhiana and Rohtak Rowdies, adding to the excitement.
Anand Kanwar, Founder of ArtKonnect Management said, “We are honoured to collaborate with Swen, led by Parvinn Dabass and Preeti Jhangiani, and deeply appreciate the trust they have placed in us. Having successfully delivered large-scale opening ceremonies across cricket, rugby, and football in India, returning to the world of Panja for the second time is both an exciting opportunity and a moment of pride for us. At ArtKonnect Management, we are constantly striving to push boundaries in the sports and entertainment space, and this partnership marks yet another significant milestone in our journey.”
The event was also attended by Shri Vishvas Kailash Sarang, Honourable Minister of Sports and Youth Welfare of Madhya Pradesh, and Organising Committee Chairman Prabal Pratap Singh Tomar, who supported the league’s mission to promote homegrown sports.
With its creative touch, ArtKonnect Management helped set the tone for a thrilling season ahead. The Pro Panja League will be broadcast across Sony Sports 3, DD Sports, FanCode, and SportVot (for international viewers), reaching fans across the country and beyond.
