THREE-TIME Indian Premier League champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have announced a partnership with Disha Eye Hospitals, naming the healthcare provider as the franchise’s official vision partner for the 2026 season.
Disha Eye Hospitals is one of the leading ophthalmology network in India, operating 20 branches nationwide, with its headquarters in Kolkata.
According to the media release, the partnership reflects a shared commitment between KKR and Disha Eye Hospitals to strive for excellence both on and off the field. The collaboration will also focus on fan-first initiatives aimed at improving access to affordable and reliable eye care, benefiting residents of the City of Joy and beyond.
KKR chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “This partnership strengthens our commitment to Kolkata’s community through a collaboration rooted in shared values of excellence and accessibility. Our association with Disha Eye Hospitals will enable us to deliver meaningful impact for fans on and off the field.”
Disha Eye Hospitals chairman and managing director Dr Debasish Bhattacharya shared, “When we founded Disha Eye Hospitals in 1997, our vision was simple yet profound: to ensure that world-class, affordable eye care is a fundamental right for everyone, not a privilege. Partnering with a champion team like the Kolkata Knight Riders feels like a natural extension of that very ethos. KKR represents the passion of Bengal, and Disha represents its care. Together, we are taking our decades-old commitment to the masses, championing the cause of eye health with the same relentless spirit that KKR brings to the pitch.”
