Mahesh Bhupathi to Attend Tata Steel Trailblazers Conclave 3.0
Kolkata, March 2, 2025 – The Tata Steel Trailblazers Conclave 3.0 is back, and this year’s lineup is as star-studded as ever. Bringing together some of India’s greatest sporting icons from March 6-8 at ITC Sonar, Kolkata, the event—curated by RevSportz and its founder Boria Majumdar—promises to be a melting pot of ideas, inspiration, and high-level sporting conversations.
Among the legends attending is Mahesh Bhupathi, a name synonymous with Indian tennis. A multiple-time Grand Slam winner and a key figure in shaping the country’s doubles legacy, Bhupathi’s presence at an event of this scale is a reminder that tennis remains an important part of India’s larger sporting fabric.
A Broader Sporting Dialogue
The conclave, built on the theme “Next is Now,” will focus on India’s sporting ambitions, athlete journeys, and the business of sports. Other attendees include D Gukesh, Sourav Ganguly, R Ashwin, Manu Bhaker, PR Sreejesh, P Gopichand, Venkatesh Iyer, Cheteshwar Pujara, etc.
Bhupathi’s experience as a player, mentor, and entrepreneur brings valuable insights into athlete development, sponsorship challenges, and what it takes to build a long-term career in an individual sport like tennis. His time at the top—competing against the best in the world—gives him a unique perspective on how Indian athletes can break barriers on the global stage.
The Bigger Picture for Indian Tennis
Tennis in India has always had its moments, thanks to players like Bhupathi, Leander Paes, Sania Mirza, and now Rohan Bopanna. But as we look ahead, the next generation needs the right infrastructure, financial backing, and exposure to succeed. Events like the Trailblazers Conclave may not directly focus on tennis, but they help shape the broader conversation around sports governance and athlete support in India.
With Bhupathi in the mix alongside some of the greatest minds in Indian sports, it’s an opportunity to keep the sport in relevant discussions, even if subtly. His presence alone is a nod to the role tennis has played in India’s sporting journey—and hopefully, will continue to play in the years to come.
