Zaggle Brings Cricket and Business Together in Hyderabad; Hosts Padma Bhushan Dr. Sunil Gavaskar

A conversation on performance, leadership, recognizing potential and creating a lasting legacy

HYDERABAD, India, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited (NSE: ZAGGLE) (BSE: 543985), India's leading AI-led enterprise spend management and FinTech platform, brought together an accomplished gathering of CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, industrialists and professionals in Hyderabad for an evening that explored the common principles connecting cricket, business and leadership, featuring legendary cricketer and Padma Bhushan Dr. Sunil Gavaskar.

The evening centered around the idea that while cricket and business operate in very different arenas, the principles that drive sustained success are remarkably similar, preparation, performance under pressure, decision-making, resource management, teamwork and the ability to build for the long term.

Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Raj P. Narayanam, Founder & Executive Chairman, Zaggle, said: "Cricket and business may operate in different arenas, but the principles that drive sustained success are remarkably similar, preparation, performance under pressure, making the right decisions and building teams that can deliver consistently. At Zaggle, we believe that recognizing potential early, backing talent and creating the right environment for people to perform is fundamental to long-term success. It is equally important to ask what we do with that success, how we create opportunities, give back and build a legacy that extends beyond ourselves. Conversations with legends like Dr. Sunil Gavaskar remind us that true excellence is not just about what we achieve, but the impact we create along the way."

Know the Legend: A Conversation with Dr. Sunil Gavaskar

The highlight of the evening was "Know the Legend", a fireside conversation between Dr. Raj P. Narayanam and Padma Bhushan Dr. Sunil Gavaskar, bringing together two perspectives on performance, leadership, entrepreneurship and legacy.

The discussion explored the making of sustained success from preparing for high-pressure moments and adapting to changing circumstances, to identifying potential, creating opportunities and building teams capable of delivering consistently.

Dr. Gavaskar's extraordinary journey mirrors the evolution of Indian cricket itself. From being one of the defining opening batsmen of his generation to becoming a global voice for the sport, his career has been shaped by discipline, resilience, preparation and the ability to perform when expectations are at their highest.

The conversation also reflected on how Indian cricket has evolved from a sport into a global industry and cultural force, while drawing parallels with the transformation taking place across India's business and entrepreneurial landscape.

From Performance to Purpose

A key theme of the evening was the responsibility that accompanies success. The conversation moved beyond achievement to consider how individuals and organisations can create opportunities for others, give back to society and build value that extends across generations.

For Zaggle, this philosophy is reflected in its approach to supporting talent and creating platforms for potential to flourish. The company has supported cricketing talent including Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Ayush Mhatre, reflecting its belief in recognizing potential early, backing it with conviction and creating the right environment for talent to grow.

The evening concluded with reflections on leadership, excellence, contribution and legacy, leaving the audience with a broader question: after achieving success, how can we use it to create opportunities and make a meaningful difference to others?

The gathering brought together diverse voices from Hyderabad's business, entrepreneurial and professional ecosystem, united by a shared interest in leadership, performance, contribution and the pursuit of excellence.
