In keeping with the group’s propensity to identify new businesses, the Group launched the ‘Pune Football Club’ to fuel aspirations of budding football players who are looking at making a mark in the game.

The club was named after the city of its origin in keeping with the tradition of many international football clubs. PFC is among the few professionally run football clubs in Pune launched primarily as an initiative to integrate “the community through sport”. In a short span of less than two years since it was launched, the PFC has put up a brilliant performance and raised the bar for football in India.

PFC was promoted to the prestigious I League in less than 18 months and was the first club from Pune to compete in the Durand and Federation Cup tournament. The Club participated in its first I-League tournament recently and put up a brilliant performance.

Through the club, the Group is developing talent, infrastructure, training facilities, enhancing match experience to create an environment conducive to the development of the sport
