About the Summit

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS ONE WE BUILD TOGETHER.

Last updated 3 October 2026

Pickleball in India is entering an important phase of its journey. Across the country, participation is growing, new formats and businesses are emerging, infrastructure is expanding, and more brands, investors and institutions are beginning to engage with the sport. With that growth comes an opportunity to come together more meaningfully. To exchange perspectives. To learn from one another. To build stronger connections across different parts of the ecosystem. And to create a shared understanding of what the next chapter of pickleball in India could look like. The India Pickleball Summit has been designed to create that space. A platform where people from across the sport and the industries around it can meet, contribute and move the conversation forward.

ONE INDUSTRY. ONE PLATFORM.

The India Pickleball Summit brings together business leaders, investors, brands, policymakers, athletes, organisers, manufacturers, facility operators, professionals and creators from across the ecosystem. Not simply to talk about the growth of pickleball, but to participate in shaping what comes next. Across the Summit, Expo and India Pickleball Awards, the platform creates different ways for the industry to engage.

The Summit brings perspectives together through conversations, debates, keynotes and fireside chats around the questions and opportunities shaping the sport.

The Expo creates a space to discover what is being built across equipment, infrastructure, technology, apparel, services and the wider business of pickleball.

The India Pickleball Awards recognise the people and organisations whose work is contributing to the progress of the sport.

Together, they create a place to exchange ideas, discover opportunities, build partnerships and form connections that extend beyond the event itself. Because the next phase of pickleball will not be shaped by any one player, organisation or part of the industry. It will be shaped together.

BUILT FROM WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM

The India Pickleball Summit is an initiative by Global Sports and Picklebay, two organisations that have been part of the growth of pickleball in India across complementary areas of the ecosystem.

Together, Global Sports and Picklebay bring different perspectives, networks and capabilities to the table. The India Pickleball Summit builds on that shared experience to create something larger: an independent platform for the industry to meet, exchange ideas, recognise progress and collectively explore what comes next.
