Gallant Sports Launches Innovative Eco-Friendly Turf

Delhi, India – April 15, 2025: Gallant Sports, India’s leading name in sports infrastructure, today announced the launch of an advanced new line of smart sports flooring and modular field systems. This strategic product rollout is a key pillar of Gallant Sports’ Vision 2036 roadmap and supports the company’s momentum toward its upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) later this year. These offerings aim to make global-standard sports infrastructure more accessible across India and beyond.

At Gallant Sports, we’re committed to shaping the future of sports in India,” said Nasir Ali, Founder & CEO of Gallant Sports“This new product line reflects our mission to deliver innovative, safe, and sustainable solutions that elevate athletic performance and community well-being.”

He added, “We’re not just building sports fields—we’re building ecosystems that empower athletes and institutions alike.”

Product Innovation Highlights

Sports Tiles: Engineered for performance, safety, and durability, Gallant’s next-gen sports tiles are ideal for basketball, volleyball, futsal, and multi-sport courts. Available in models like TitanHexagonal 2.0, and Rubber Elastomer Tiles, they’re made from high-quality TPE—the same material approved by FIBA 3×3. These tiles offer excellent impact absorption, energy return, and weather adaptability—reducing the risk of injuries while ensuring all-weather play.

Pre-Fabricated Sports Rubber Flooring: Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, these versatile and eco-friendly flooring options come in three thicknesses (5 mm, 8 mm, and 13 mm) to support everything from general recreation to professional-level track and field. Fully recyclable and non-toxic, these floors meet World Athletics standards and promote a safer, odor-free sports experience.

FIFA-Tested Non-Infill Turf: Gallant’s new synthetic turf eliminates the need for traditional rubber infill, offering a cooler, cleaner, and more sustainable playing surface. Certified under the FIFA Quality Programme, this turf is ideal for football, hockey, and multi-sport fields. It’s also easier to install—paired with shock pads for peak performance and durability. As SBR infill faces global phase-out by 2031, non-infill turf positions Gallant at the forefront of future-ready turf technology.

High-Performance Shockpads with Geo-Textile: Critical for injury prevention and playfield longevity, Gallant’s advanced shock pads feature a geo-textile base layer and GSM rating of 70+. Available in 10 mm to 20 mm thicknesses, they ensure superior shock absorption and drainage. Ideal for football fields, playgrounds, and multi-sport surfaces, these shock pads meet international safety benchmarks and significantly reduce the impact of falls—especially important in children’s play zones and high-impact areas.

Prime Video’s Chhorii 2 has been making waves since its launch, earning love from horror fans and viewers alike. But as the film continues to terrify audiences on screen, something even more unsettling has crept into real life – Daasi Ma has stepped out of the shadows, and into the city.

Produced by T-Series, Abundantia Entertainment, Psych, and Tamarisk Lane Production, the horror thriller film is directed by Vishal Furia, featuring the stellar Nushrratt Bharuccha and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles.

Narayana One Health Shifts Focus to Proactive Care

Bengaluru, 15th April 2025: Arya Health Plans, a pioneering initiative that brings together the world of healthcare and health insurance in a single plan, has launched a refreshing and innovative take aimed at transforming the way people perceive health insurance. With this initiative, Arya Health Plans aims to redefine health insurance as a proactive partner in a customer’s journey to good health, rather than just a financial safety net in times of sickness.

Offering a seamless blend of OPD visits, savings on diagnostics, medicines and more, comprehensive hospitalization coverage and the first-time-in-India One Health promise, Arya ensures that access to quality healthcare is effortless and stress-free. What’s more, customers can enjoy tracking their health and even medicine deliveries!

Moving away from conventional fear-driven messaging, Arya Health Plans introduces The Troubadour—a charismatic, musical mascot to deliver the brand’s message in an impactful manner that is easily understood by all.

A Campaign That Breaks the Norm

Unlike traditional insurance advertisements that focus on emergencies and financial distress, Arya Health Plans takes a unique approach by blending humour, music and storytelling. The campaign’s protagonist, The Troubadour, delivers crucial messages through an engaging, musical narrative about the insurance initiative that will strive to work for better health for its customers, and make health insurance feel less intimidating and more relatable.

The campaign films showcase everyday healthcare scenarios, with The Troubadour guiding people through the benefits of Arya Health Plans using wit and charm. This strategy ensures high recall value while making the concept of health insurance more accessible to a broader audience.

A Fresh Take on Health Insurance Awareness

The campaign highlights how Arya Health Plans integrates essential healthcare services, ensuring individuals and families can access medical care without worrying about financial constraints. By focusing on proactive healthcare solutions, Arya seeks to encourage more people to see insurance as a valuable and necessary investment in their well-being.

At Narayana One Health, we believe that health insurance should be a source of reassurance, not fear. This campaign is a step towards making insurance feel approachable, engaging and truly beneficial for everyday healthcare needs. By integrating a range of proactive healthcare benefits, we are ensuring that people no longer see insurance as just an emergency backup, but as an essential part of their well-being,” said Ravi Vishwanath, CEO, Narayana One Health

Transforming Perceptions Through Creativity

Arya Health Plans isn’t just another insurance product—it is a testament to Narayana One Health’s commitment to proactive, lifelong care. The mission is simple: To be there for our customers every step of the way, guiding and supporting them on their journey to better health. Healthcare and Health Insurance have always been two opposite sides of the coin and it was high time to bridge that gap!

To bring this vision to life in our launch films, we introduced the Troubadour—a charming, ever-present yet playful character who embodies our promise of continuous care. Rather than relying on fear-based messaging, we chose humour to create a fresh, engaging narrative that truly stands out. This film marks a very important step in making Arya Health Plans, a partner in your journey (not limited to a guest appearance like an Insurance plan) to help redefine a customers’ presumption on what they expect from their Insurance partners,” said Gunjan Khaitan Shahabadi, Head Marketing and Category Management.

This campaign plays a crucial role in positioning the brand as an innovative and customer-centric health insurance provider. By challenging industry norms and engaging audiences through storytelling, Arya Health Plans aims to drive greater awareness and adoption of its services. Currently available exclusively in Bengaluru, Arya Health Plans will be extended to different parts of the country in due course of time.

The campaign is expected to generate strong resonance among urban consumers and younger audiences, particularly those who may be hesitant to explore health insurance due to its perceived complexity and because group or corporate coverage is usually not enough to get by. By making the experience informative, Arya Health Plans hopes to encourage more individuals to take proactive steps toward securing their health.
