This collaboration has marked a pivotal step in KRAFTON’s commitment to fostering the growth of Indian sports beyond esports.
As part of the partnership, KRAFTON will provide essential training equipment, including kits, bags, and caps, to the Indian Paralympic team as they prepare for the prestigious games. The support aims to empower para-athletes and create a conducive training environment.

At KRAFTON India, we believe in the power of sports to inspire and unite communities and we are dedicated to supporting the growth of traditional sports.
