We are looking forward to all the celebrations in the coming two weeks. We have a great contingent coming from India…,” Nita Ambani said.
India took a bold step forward in its global sporting ambitions with the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympics.
This landmark initiative aimed to propel India towards becoming a dominant force in global sports, fostering greater success at the Olympics, and charting a course towards hosting the Games in the future.
A cornerstone feature of the Olympic Games, Olympic Hospitality Houses serve as a platform for participating countries to showcase their culture, hospitality, and national pride to athletes, media, visitors, and supporters. These houses serve as a space for fans to celebrate and support their athletes/ teams during competitions, and act as a “home away from home” for athletes and their families during the Games.
The Olympic House also becomes a place for fans of the country’s team to gather for event “watch-parties” and celebrations during competitive events, and in some cases, athletes who medal make an appearance during the day or evening.
India House at the Paris Games will serve as a showcase of India to the world, to fans from across the world, to key stakeholders from the global sports world, Indian travellers, media and athletes. It will also be the first time that Indian athletes will have a home at the Olympics, that will look to celebrate India’s sporting achievements and sportspersons. (ANI)
