It’s strategy. While everyone’s focused on trade deals, here’s what most missed: a 100-year-old hockey legacy (thanks, Dhyan Chand!) is now fueling a whole new Sports Joint Action Plan; beyond cricket.

Using sports to connect youth, tech, and trade; all while India gears up for the 2030 Commonwealth Games. This isn’t just about winning medals. It’s about winning hearts; and markets.
