7Padel, M.S. Dhoniʼs padel brand has merged with PadelPark India, a 360-degree Padel company, providing courts, coaching, retail, and events to promote the sport across the country.
The merger marks the creation of a unified national platform designed for rapid scale, deeper community engagement and more professionally structured play in padel. The combined entity plans to accelerate court development, deepen participation and establish a more professionally structured framework for the sport across India.
Since August 2024, Parth Jindal, Founder of JSW Sports, has been one of the early investors in PadelPark India. Now, MS Dhoni joins as a Partner in the merged entity.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Partner, PadelPark India, said, “In a country with over 10 million racquet sport players, Tier-1 cities have already shown how quickly padel can grow. The next step is taking that momentum into newer markets and making the sport accessible beyond the metros. Once courts are available, people will take to it naturally – padel is social, it’s played in doubles, and it’s built around community, which suits India. And with PadelPark India’s 360° ecosystem – from courts and coaching to tournaments and community programmes, we can scale with consistency and build padel as a professionally run sport across the country.”
Nikhil Sachdev, Co-Founder, PadelPark India, said, “This unification represents more than a partnership; it marks a shared belief in how padel should grow in India. Bringing 7Padel MS Dhoni together with PadelPark India creates a single, aligned platform capable of elevating standards, strengthening participation, and building long-term credibility for the sport. Dhoni’s leadership, values, and clarity of thought add tremendous depth to our mission. Together, we now have the structure, vision, and momentum to define the future of padel in India.”
Founded by Nikhil Sachdev, Jigar Doshi, Pratik Doshi, and Ronak Daftary, PadelPark India is building a comprehensive padel ecosystem. PadelPark India currently operates more than 40 owned and managed courts, contributing to a broader infrastructure footprint of over 200 courts delivered nationwide. Over the next year, the organisation aims to expand to 400–500 courts, significantly increasing access to world-class padel facilities across India.
