Pocket FM, a leading audio series platform, has announced a partnership with Jaipur Patriots, a leading franchise in the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT).
As part of the deal, the brand has become the team’s official back-of-the-jersey partner for UTT 2025.
Vineet Singh, Head – Brand Marketing and Communications, said, “At Pocket FM, we build stories that resonate with stories of ambition, setbacks, and second chances. In the Jaipur Patriots, we saw a story we wanted to stand behind. And that’s exactly what we are doing, both literally and in spirit.”
The Patriots return this season with a strong team that includes India’s top-ranked women’s singles player, Sreeja Akula, foreign talents Kanak Jha and Britt Eerland, and an emerging crop of Indian talent. Coached by Pavel Rehorek (Czech Republic) and Sachin Shetty (India), the squad will be focussing on rewriting the script for table tennis in India.
Parina Parekh, Co-owner, Jaipur Patriots, said, “Jaipur Patriots is on a mission to make table tennis matter more in India to turn matches into moments that stay with our fans. Pocket FM understands that spirit. They have built a platform rooted in storytelling that speaks to young India, and we commend their effort to back a sport that’s still finding its spotlight. This partnership brings together two teams driven by purpose, and we are excited to build stories and meaningful moments together.”
To commemorate the collaboration, Pocket FM will be hosting an internal table tennis competition across its India locations on May 29. As UTT develops on the professional stage, Pocket FM’s own players will pick up the paddle, bringing the sport’s energy to its own floors.
The sixth season of Ultimate Table Tennis is set to begin on May 31, 2025, in the EKA Arena in Ahmedabad. The matches will be televised live on JioStar. Jaipur Patriots will play their opening match of the season against Dabang Delhi TTC on the same day at 5 PM IST.
