Jaipur Polo

What Jaipur Polo does

The Jaipur Polo Team is a royal family-owned polo sports organization founded in the early 1900s by HH Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and currently led by HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh as Captain and Patron. Operating from City Palace in Jaipur, the team competes across the Indian Polo Season (Jaipur, Delhi, Jodhpur) and internationally at venues including Guards Polo Club in England and the Open de Paris in France. It serves polo enthusiasts, corporate sponsors, and cultural/diplomatic stakeholders seeking association with heritage polo and Indian royal tradition.

The team's core offerings center on competitive polo participation, the internationally recognized Jaipur Trophy (revived at Guards Polo Club in July 2025), the annual India Polo Day event, and polo team services spanning match viewing, corporate hospitality, and partnership opportunities. The underlying capability is polo sport excellence and equestrian expertise — no software, AI, or digital product component is present. Distribution is event-driven through tournament participation and supported by digital channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and the official website).

The business model is sponsorship-driven. Revenue is generated through tiered partnerships with brands such as U.S. Polo Assn. (Official Apparel Partner for 2025-26), Johnnie Walker Luxe Blended Water (hospitality partner), Wonder Cement, and Shree Cement (Associate Partners). The team also benefits from heritage partnerships with Guards Polo Club and Rajmahal Palace. As a royal family-owned institution with no external investment, financial information is not publicly disclosed, and operations function as a sporting institution rather than a conventional corporate entity.
