BENGALURU: All England 2022 finalist Lakshya Sen has signed on Baseline Ventures to commercially represent him.
Following his wins over World No.1 Viktor Axelsen at the German Open and defending champion Lee Zii Jia in the semi-finals at the All-England Championship, Lakshya Sen became only the 5th Indian shuttler and the first man from the country in 21 years to reach the final of the prestigious Super 1000 event in Birmingham. The 20 year-old is also the youngest Indian to reach the final of the All England Championship.
Almora-born Sen, the 2021 World Championship Bronze medallist and 2022 India Open badminton champion, became the number one junior singles player in BWF World Junior ranking in February 2017. He emerged as the champion at the 2018 Asian Junior Championships defeating the top-seeded World No. 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the final. In 2022, he defeated the reigning world champion, Loh Kean Yew, in the India Open final, thus clinching his first Super 500 title.
“I am looking forward to working with the team at Baseline Ventures and relying on their industry experience and expertise,” said Sen.
