Picklebay has been named the Title Sponsor for the Team India Kids Under 14 contingent that will compete at the Pickleball World Cup 2026.
The partnership with the Indian Pickleball Association will see Picklebay support the young Indian players representing the country at the international tournament.
The Team India Kids contingent will feature Under 14 pickleball players from India competing against participants from other countries. The association comes as pickleball continues to attract greater participation in India, including among younger age groups.
Picklebay operates across tournaments, technology, infrastructure and community initiatives within the emerging sports ecosystem. Through the partnership, the platform will extend its involvement to youth level competitive pickleball and support opportunities for younger players to gain international exposure.
The collaboration also puts a focus on the development of structured pathways for young pickleball players in India, from grassroots participation to competitive tournaments. With the sport expanding across the country, youth competitions and international participation are becoming increasingly relevant to the development of India’s pickleball ecosystem.
Siddhant Jatia, Founder & CEO of Picklebay, said, “The future of pickleball in India lies in creating the right opportunities for young players to discover the sport, compete at the highest level and build a long-term journey around it. We are proud to support the Team India Kids (U-14) contingent as the Title Sponsor for the Pickleball World Cup 2026.”
