    Jindal Stainless backs IIS athletes, forging India’s champions of tomorrow

    MUMBAI: When steel meets speed, champions are forged. Jindal Stainless is turning this mantra into reality by partnering with the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) to nurture India’s next generation of track and field stars. Through its CSR arm, the Jindal Stainless Foundation, the company has become the key sponsor of IIS’ Track & Field Development program at Hisar for FY 25-26, supporting aspiring athletes on their journey to national and international success.

    The Hisar centre is a crucial talent hub, scouting promising athletes aged 18–25 from across India and channeling them into a structured training ecosystem. This year, the program is mentoring 39 athletes, providing them with a holistic environment that spans world-class facilities, expert coaching, sports science support, nutrition guidance, and financial assistance for travel to competitive events. A standout feature of the initiative is the involvement of Klaus Bartonietz, former coach of Olympic javelin champion Neeraj Chopra, who brings cutting-edge biomechanics expertise to the budding athletes.

    “Supporting IIS’ track & field development program is our way of ensuring young athletes can compete with confidence on the global stage,” said Jindal Stainless managing director Abhyuday Jindal. “Through this collaboration, we aim to nurture India’s future champions and empower talent where it matters most.”

    IIS president Manisha Malhotra added, “Jindal Stainless’ partnership allows us to strengthen our program, giving young athletes access to state-of-the-art facilities, scientific guidance, and competitive opportunities essential for national and international success. This support is pivotal in helping India create a world-class sports ecosystem.”

    Athletes in the program represent a diverse pool of talent, including budding javelin throwers like Aditya and Manpreet Singh, who are training under this rigorous system. The initiative spans sprints, hurdles, and throws, equipping participants with the skills and discipline required to excel in global competitions.

    Jindal Stainless has supported IIS for several years, and by acting as the key sponsor for 2025-26, the company reaffirms its commitment to sports, youth empowerment, and social impact. This collaboration not only provides a platform for emerging athletes but also strengthens the broader goal of positioning India as a hub of athletic excellence, demonstrating that with the right infrastructure and support, world-class champions can emerge from any corner of the country.

    With steel backing speed and science guiding skill, the Hisar centre is shaping up as a launchpad for India’s athletic dreams, ensuring the next generation of track and field stars is fit, fast, and future-ready.

  • Jindal Stainless launches ‘ज़ंग Warrior’ campaign

    Jindal Stainless launches ‘ज़ंग Warrior’ campaign

    Mumbai: Jindal Stainless, a stainless steel manufacturer, today launched the ‘ज़ंग (Corrosion) Warrior’ brand campaign to coincide with the World Day Against Child Labour. The campaign aims at building skills for sustainable societal change by showcasing a positive social impact on the lives of fabricators through the company’s Stainless Academy initiative. The Academy aims to develop an ecosystem that drives awareness and appropriate adoption of stainless steel, under which Jindal Stainless provides free fabrication training to fabricators.

    The ‘ज़ंग Warrior’ brand campaign, as part of the larger ‘Jindal Saathi 5.0’ project, includes three heart-warming videos that put the spotlight on prevalent social issues in India such as women inequality, social injustice, besides child labour. The videos unravel the emotional stories of individuals who have found a path to economic independence and self-reliance through the Stainless Academy. The first video highlights how the programme empowers women to achieve economic independence and break gender barriers in the fabrication industry. The second video focuses on equipping fabricators with unique skill sets to build a brighter future for themselves and their families by ensuring their children’s well-being and education, in turn helping eradicate child labour. The third video, meanwhile, showcases the opportunities created through these fabricator training programmes for individuals from underprivileged backgrounds to gain acceptance and respect in the society.

    Talking about the campaign, Jindal Stainless MD Abhyuday Jindal said, “At Jindal Stainless, we believe everyone deserves a chance to build a successful future for themselves and their families. The ‘ज़ंग Warrior’ campaign is an expression of this core value. It is dedicated to all those warriors who are fighting against societal evils. We are proud to see the Stainless Academy empowering individuals to overcome social barriers and achieve self-reliance. So far, more than 32,000 fabricators have benefitted from them, and we plan to target as many as 16,000 fabricators in FY25 alone. By upskilling fabricators and enhancing their quality of life, we are committed to strengthening the entire ecosystem, especially the downstream industry.”

    The campaign draws a powerful parallel between the inherent qualities of stainless steel – its resistance to corrosion (ज़ंग)– and Jindal Stainless’ dedication to combating societal ज़ंग, or evils from society. The videos go beyond showcasing the technical skills learned, highlighting the broader social empowerment the fabrication training programme provides. The video series culminates with a powerful call to action, emphasising the importance of collective effort in driving social change. It concludes with a message of hope, highlighting the transformative power of skill development and community empowerment.
