Bridge is a strategy game that teaches one to be of a tougher mindset, to use one’s intellect to maximum capacity, communicate powerfully and to pursue victory diligently. It is these qualities that makes Bridge a perfect fit for HCL. HCL Bridge is one such initiative through which HCL extends its commitment to the pure joy of indulging in a mind-stimulating game. It is the objective of the platform to build conversations around this game of intellect, facilitate dialogue amongst enthusiasts, convene membership, and inspire excellence in Bridge.

With our philosophy of touching people’s lives, we at HCL believe in creating a sustainable ecosystem to promote a variety of sports in the country. Squash is one such sport that we have been supporting since 2016. Indian squash has seen a steady growth in the last few years.

Currently, more than 6,600 players are registered with the Squash Rackets Federation of India (SRFI). SRFI aims to increase this number significantly over the next five years and also help players improve their rankings and win more medals at international tournaments. In order to realize this goal, there is a need to provide players with regular exposure to PSA tournaments and empower Indian coaches.

Keeping this in mind, HCL has partnered with SRFI to transform the Squash ecosystem in India and launched the HCL Squash Podium Program in 2019. This multi-pronged program aims to drive a 360-degree overhaul in Indian Squash by providing the right support at every level to players, coaches and referees.
