Adi Groupe Collaborates with Prasar Bharti for GLW
AdiGroupe and its sports innovation arm AEx SPORT, in association with Prasar Bharati, proudly announce the launch of Global League Wrestling (GLW) – the nation’s first global-format professional wrestling league, conceived in India and designed for audiences across the world.
This is more than sport. It’s a national moment.
Launching on 17th September 2025 with a 40-week season, GLW will air on DD Sports, stream on Waves OTT, and broadcast through All India Radio beginning 4th October. Together, these platforms are expected to deliver a staggering reach of 1 billion viewers, from the largest metros to the smallest villages – making GLW one of the most ambitious sports entertainment projects ever launched from Indian soil.
The Energy of India, the Spirit of the World
GLW combines the athletic intensity of professional wrestling with the richness of Indian storytelling. Expect powerful rivalries, heroic journeys, and emotional sagas – inspired by our cultural identity yet crafted to captivate audiences everywhere. Every match will be a spectacle, every character a story worth following, and every victory a reason to celebrate.
At the heart of GLW, The Great Khali takes on the role of Brand Ambassador and Talent Commissioner, guiding a new generation of Indian wrestling talent and preparing them to stand tall on the global stage.
A Gift to the Nation
“GLW is India’s statement to the world – that we have the vision, skill, and execution prowess to create world-class sports entertainment,” said Sanjay Viswanathan, Chairman of AdiGroupe, AEx SPORT, and GLW. “It’s a platform for our athletes to rise, compete, and inspire – and for our stories to echo far beyond our borders. This is a gift to the Bharat, and a celebration of our youth’s energy and determination.”
Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, added, “GLW offers something truly unique – the discipline and drama of professional wrestling brought to life with the cultural depth of India. Through our platforms, we will bring this to every home, every community, and every generation.”
History in the Making
With GLW, India is not entering the global wrestling map quietly – it is stepping into the arena with the force of a billion hearts. From screens to stadiums, from local heroes to global icons, GLW will inspire a generation, showcase homegrown excellence, and unite the nation in pride and excitement.
Mark your calendars. 17th September 2025 is the day India enters the ring – not as a contender, but as a champion unveiled.
This is our league. Our stories. Our glory.
