Aurionpro Solutions Limited has partnered with the Indian Chess School to launch the Aurionpro International Grandmaster Chess Tournament.
This association encourages commitment to developing young minds via strategic play and promoting greatness from the ground up.
The tournament, which is set to take place in Mumbai from June 16-24, 2025, will comprise an International Open Grandmasters Chess event including Grandmasters from 19 nations as well as an Under-13 competition, which is recognised as the biggest prize money tournament for kids in the world.
Young chess players from India and overseas will compete in four age groups: Under 7, Under 9, Under 11, and Under 13. National champions will get free entrance and accommodations, while national school champions will receive free entry, making the competition accessible to the country’s most promising young talent.
Ashish Rai, Group CEO, Aurionpro Solutions, commented, “Chess is no longer confined to a few geographies; it is expanding fast and wide. We’re witnessing a surge of bold, brilliant players ready to compete on the global stage. This tournament is just the beginning of a new era, filled with immense, untapped potential. At Aurionpro, we see a strong parallel between the evolving world of chess and the dynamic transformation we drive in the technology space.
“It is not merely about alignment—it is about shared discipline, ambition, and the pursuit of mastery. This is why we are investing in the early stages—to uplift emerging talent and help accelerate the global ascent of the game, just as we do in the markets we serve.”
The Indian Chess School, a well-known organisation for young chess development, is organising the competition. With participation expected from around the county, as well as foreign entrants, it provides a unique opportunity for young talent to obtain exposure, experience, and recognition.
Praful Zaveri, Founder of Indian Chess School, said, “The goal of the tournament has always been to encourage analytical thinking and mental resilience in youth. It’s inspiring to see a tech company like Aurionpro recognize that the same skills which produce great chess players are critical for navigating today’s digital challenges. This partnership validates the idea that strategy is a universal language, whether in technology or over the board.”
With this agreement, the Aurionpro International Grandmaster Chess Tournament is poised to become a premier junior chess tournament and a significant step forward for the game’s future.
