PadelPark India takes global serve with Hexagon Cup stake

MUMBAI: PadelPark India has stepped beyond home courts and onto the global centre court with an equity investment in Hexagon Cup Holdings, the company behind the high-profile Hexagon Cup and its next avatar, the Hexagon World Series.

The investment is part of an international financing round and marks PadelPark India’s formal entry into the global professional padel ecosystem. More than a financial play, it positions the Indian firm as a stakeholder in shaping how elite padel evolves worldwide.

Until now, PadelPark India has focused on building the sport domestically. This move signals a shift in gears. By investing at the holding company level, the brand gains a seat at the table as padel enters a new phase defined by scale, structure and international alignment.

Hexagon Cup Holdings is expanding its flagship tournament into the Hexagon World Series, a mixed-gender, team-based competition featuring the world’s best players. The series will host multiple events each year in iconic global cities, with equal prize money and a format designed to broaden the sport’s appeal.

The timing could not be better for India. Padel is picking up pace across major metros, fuelled by growing participation, new facilities and rising private investment. PadelPark India’s global involvement strengthens its ambition to act as a bridge between India and the international padel circuit, opening doors for collaboration, talent exchange and commercial growth.

PadelPark India co-founder Nikhil Sachdev said the investment reflects a long-term commitment. “Being involved at the holding company level allows us to contribute meaningfully as the sport evolves globally. The Hexagon World Series represents a new chapter for professional padel, and this is an important step in connecting India’s fast-growing padel ecosystem with the global competitive pyramid.”

As padel’s popularity gathers pace worldwide, PadelPark India’s move signals clear intent. India does not just want to join the rally. It wants a hand on the racquet shaping the next phase of the game.
