Tamil Nadu Premier League announces partnership with Upstox and Shriram Capital

Tamil Nadu is the Upstox key market in India as around 60% of Upstox's Tamil Nadu customers are all first investors, with over 15% of them being women.

Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) has announced that it has signed financial conglomerate Shriram Capital Ltd and RKSV Securities Pvt. Ltd-owned digital investment platform Upstox as official partners.

TNPL begins on 19th July 2021. Their first match will be played between Lyca Kovai Kings and Salem Spartans.

The games will be aired on Star Sports, Star Sports Tamil, and Star Vijay, and will be available on Disney+ Hotstar, an over-the-top (OTT) video streaming platform.

“TNPL’s objective of reaching out to talent from the interior parts of Tamil Nadu is a perfect fit with our philosophy of serving the under-served and addressing the common man. Just like TNCA, which has a glorious past in India’s cricket history, we also have a strong foundation, having been in this business for the last five decades. It is the coming together of two strong teams,” said D. V. Ravi, managing director and chief executive officer, Shriram Capital.
