Capgemini has been named transformation partner for India’s first Rugby Premier League. In collaboration with Indian Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and GMR Sports, Capgemini would help shape the Rugby Premier League, ushering in a new era for professional rugby in India, the company said on Wednesday. The GMR Rugby Premier League (RPL) would be played in a Rugby 7s format and as the official transformation partner, Capgemini would help to enhance player performance, uplift players’ social and sports profiles, and increase grassroots participation in rugby.
Capgemini’s association with rugby spans over 30 years globally, and this new collaboration with GMR RPL is an extension of its previous India engagement, as the associate sponsor for the Rugby 7s Women & Girls and the Rugby 7s Men & Boys teams, as per a company communique.
