Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has announced the coming on board of Samsonite as partner for the Hangzhou-bound Asian Games contingent.
The event is scheduled to take place from September 23 to October 8, 2023.
PT Usha, President, IOA, said, "The provision of a premium suitcase, designed for the official kit for the Asian Games 2022, to each member of the Indian team is a symbol of the support and belief that the entire nation, and brands of global repute like Samsonite, bestow upon our champions.”
Table Tennis player Sharath Kamal said, "I cannot stress enough the importance of the whole team travelling with such premium suitcases with our playing kits and ceremonial dresses in them. The feeling of pride and confidence among our athletes can only grow with such action."
Jai Krishnan, CEO, Samsonite India, said,” It was an honour for the luggage giant to be part of the Indian athlete's journey. Samsonite has always been about journeys. And there's none more heart-stirring than that the one our athletes are embarking on. We are honoured to be a small but significant part of their journey."
