Quotes
Dayaan Farooqui
Chairman of the Pro Wrestling League
“Indian wrestling has never lacked talent or audience. What it has lacked is the commercial machinery to convert both into a durable business. My focus is on building that — the sponsorship architecture, the franchise economics and the governance frameworks that let a sporting property compound in value season after season.”

“Bhavya brings a commercial discipline that this league needs at exactly this stage of its growth. As we move into Season 6 with a stronger franchise base and a wider broadcast footprint, his focus on governance and long-term value will be central to how PWL scales.”
