The Jaipur Pink Panthers

What The Jaipur Pink Panthers does

The Jaipur Pink Panthers is a private professional kabaddi franchise based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, incorporated as Jaipur Pink Panthers Pvt Ltd. Founded in 2014 as one of the founding franchises of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), the team is a two-time PKL champion (Season 5 and Season 9) and plays home matches at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The franchise competes against 11 other PKL teams across multiple Indian cities (Vizag, Chennai, Delhi, Pune, Noida, Hyderabad, Jaipur) and reaches a pan-India audience through an official broadcast partnership with Jio Hotstar. As of mid-2025 the team carries a 25-player squad led by Captain Nitin Rawal and Vice-Captain Reza Mirbagheri under Head Coach Narender Redhu, and is currently mid-table in Season 12.

The franchise operates a multi-stream commercial model. Revenue is generated from title sponsorship (Roff), kit partnership (Tyka), and official commercial partnerships (Bikaji as Powered By, Fastn Up as nutrition partner, Incred as finance partner), supplemented by broadcasting rights from the PKL central pool and a subscription-based fan membership program called Panthers Pack that offers exclusive image galleries and video content. Distribution and marketing channels consist of an official website (jaipurpinkpanthers.com), presence on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, plus the Jio Hotstar broadcast. The franchise also operates digital content platforms covering match fixtures, squad profiles, news, and a live standings tracker.

Operationally, the franchise underwent a significant restructuring during 2024-2025. Following Head Coach Sanjeev Baliyan's departure after four seasons (including the Season 9 title), Narender Redhu was appointed as head coach in January 2025 and Vinod Kumar in April 2025, installing a youth-first roster philosophy. In February 2025 the franchise launched the Jaipur Pink Cubs, a grassroots youth development program that has already produced four players for the senior Season 12 roster. The franchise is owned by a consortium of private investors and is managed by CEO Bunty Walia; no specific ownership or equity structure is publicly disclosed.
