Badminton has rapidly gained popularity in India, with players like P.V. Sindhu and Saina Nehwal bringing the sport into the limelight. The Badminton Association of India (BAI) has implemented various initiatives to promote badminton at the grassroots level, leading to a surge in interest among young athletes.
The establishment of the Premier Badminton League (PBL) has also contributed to this growth, providing a platform for players to showcase their skills and earn substantial prize money. The PBL has attracted international talent, increasing the competitiveness of the league and enhancing the overall quality of the sport in India.
Moreover, sponsorship deals have increased significantly, allowing players to benefit financially and invest in better training facilities. With a growing number of academies and training centers, badminton is set to continue its upward trajectory in India.
