We envision a future where tennis is accessible, celebrated, and deeply rooted in the culture of Gujarat. Through excellence in competition, grassroots development, and meaningful partnerships, we aim to inspire a generation of athletes, fans, and leaders.

We don’t just play to win matches.
We play to ignite pride, nurture talent, and build a legacy that echoes far beyond the final point.

Born and raised in Gujarat, Mr. Patgir has long believed in the power of sport to drive positive change. While tennis often takes a backseat to cricket in India, he saw an opportunity to build something impactful by nurturing talent and creating access for aspiring players. His early efforts included supporting local tennis academies in cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Surat. These centers have now become crucial incubators for young talent across the state.

“Tennis has the power to instill discipline, focus, and resilience in young minds. My goal has always been to give every talented child in Gujarat a chance to dream big through this beautiful sport,” said Mr. Patgir.

His efforts soon expanded beyond grassroots support when he became the owner of the Gujarat Panthers in the Tennis Premier League India’s only professional tennis league that merges sporting excellence with entertainment appeal. Since acquiring the franchise, Mr. Patgir has transformed the Gujarat Panthers into one of the most dynamic and competitive teams in the league.

Under his leadership, the Gujarat Panthers have become more than just a tennis team. They are ambassadors of Gujarat’s sporting identity. Mr. Patgir has emphasized not only performance on the court but community outreach as well. Through school programs, public clinics, and grassroots engagement, the team frequently interacts with fans, inspiring thousands of children to take up the sport.

“We are not just building a team—we are building a tennis movement,” he said. “The Gujarat Panthers represent the pride of our state, and we want to inspire the next generation to pick up a racquet.”

Beyond the court, Mr. Patgir’s role has extended to shaping the broader conversation around sports investment in Gujarat. His success with the Gujarat Panthers has encouraged other entrepreneurs to explore opportunities in sports leagues and infrastructure development. By proving that sports ventures can have both social and economic value, he has helped lay the foundation for a more vibrant sporting ecosystem in the state.

Today, thanks to Mr. Ramku Patgir’s vision and relentless dedication, Gujarat stands as an emerging hub for tennis in India. His dual focus on competitive excellence and inclusive growth continues to leave a lasting impact—not only on young athletes but also on the future of Indian tennis.
