Commenting on the occasion, Alshaali said, “Padel tennis is the UAE’s fastest-growing sport and has experienced a surge of interest in India over recent years. The opening of the padel courts will not only open new opportunities for Jindal varsity students to participate in a highly social and exciting sporting activity, it will also offer JGU scope to host international padel tournaments and training camps.”

Jindal varsity vice-chancellor Raj Kumar said the event is a reminder of the possibilities that open up when people are connected, whether through sports, education, business, or cultural exchange.
