ASPECT SPORTS, the sports division of Aspect Global Ventures, in partnership with APCO Infratech, has acquired the Mumbai franchise of the Pro Wrestling League (PWL), marking the official entry of the Tiigers of Mumbai Dangals ahead of the league’s return in 2026.
Launched in 2015, the PWL established itself as India’s premier professional wrestling competition before suspending operations in 2019.
The acquisition expands Aspect Sports’ Tiigers franchise from Kolkata to Mumbai, strengthening its presence in Indian sport. The move reflects the organisation’s broader ambition to build professionally managed teams across multiple leagues while contributing to the long-term development of India’s sporting ecosystem.
As part of the franchise’s setup, the Tiigers of Mumbai Dangals have appointed Chandra Vijay Singh as head coach. Singh is a two-time PWL title winner and brings significant experience to the role. At the auction, the Tiigers completed a marquee signing by acquiring Aman Sehrawat for Rs 51 lakh.
The Tiigers of Mumbai Dangals will compete in the 2026 PWL season, which is set to feature six teams from across the country and a strong line-up of elite Indian wrestling talent.
Aspect Global Ventures executive chairperson Aksha Kamboj said, “The acquisition of Tiigers of Mumbai Dangals marks an important step in the continued growth of Aspect Sports. Our vision has always been to build professionally run teams that contribute meaningfully to the development of sport in India. Mumbai is a city with a deep sporting culture and immense energy, and we see this franchise as an opportunity to build a strong connect with the city while creating a competitive, high-performance team. Wrestling has a strong cultural foundation in the country, and through this franchise, we are committed to nurturing talent, building excellence, and strengthening the sporting ecosystem.”
APCO Infratech director RP Singh expressed, “We are pleased to partner with Aspect Sports in bringing the Tiigers of Mumbai Dangals to the Pro Wrestling League. The league’s return represents a strong opportunity to support Indian wrestling at a professional level, and we look forward to contributing to the growth of the sport through this association.”
