India, May 18 2018: Taking forward its
commitment to supporting Ultimate Flying Disc in India, Usha International, one
of India’s leading consumer durables company, kicked-off
the Usha Udaan 2018 in association with Hyderabad Ultimate and Teach for India
(TFI). This tournament is the first in the UPAI’s (Ultimate Players Association
of India) annual calendar for 2018.
Usha Udaan 2018, a three-day tournament slated between May 18 and 20, 2018, kicked-off
today at Saraswathi Cricket Ground, Gundlapochampalli. A total of eight teams comprising
150 players from Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai will battle it out
for the top honours. Usha International has been supporting the
Ultimate tournaments in India over the last six years and tournaments are now
played across Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Goa, Ahmedabad, and Surat.
Delighted at the start of the tournament, Ms. Komal Mehra, Events Head, Usha International, said, “Our collaboration
with Ultimate in India is a reiteration of our larger effort in promoting an active
lifestyle amongst people. What is heartening to see is how the popularity of
the game has burgeoned amongst youngsters across the country and I believe that
is because the game is class and gender agnostic and needs little by way of infrastructure.
All this inspires us to continue supporting the Ultimate tournaments in the
belief that it will spawn a whole new breed of Ultimate stars.”
Usha Udaan 2018 will
also have some participants chosen from amongst the 200 kids who enrolled in
the Summer Ultimate Coaching Program, a training program in association with
Teach for India. The kids are being trained by Poojitha Alluri, who represented
India in the 2016 World Ultimate and Guts Championship.
Usha International has been continuously supporting numerous sporting
initiatives in the country like IPL, Football, Marathon, Ladies Amateur and
Junior Golf, Cricket for the Deaf, and Sports Championships for the Blind.
The company believes in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle and many
of its new age appliances including the Cold Press Juicer, OTG, InfinitiCook Halogen
Oven, On the Go Blenders are an extension of this philosophy.
