US-BASED PICKLEBALL FRANCHISE Pickleball Kingdom has officially entered the Indian market with the launch of its first court in New Delhi, marking a significant milestone in the rapid growth of the sport in the country.
The launch signals Pickleball Kingdom’s first physical presence in India after announcing its international expansion plans in 2025. The company operates over 400 locations in the United States and is now looking to replicate its community-driven, franchise-led model in India.
The facility, located in Okhla, is a state-of-the-art rooftop court, developed in partnership with real estate firm Max Estates and local franchise partner BAQ Wizards Private Limited.
Pickleball Kingdom plans to expand aggressively across India through franchise partnerships, city-based rollouts, and community-focused infrastructure. Target regions include major urban markets such as Delhi NCR, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
India was identified as a priority market due to rising urban sports participation, growing interest in alternative racquet sports, and strong potential for community-based recreational formats
The newly launched Delhi facility offers a high-energy rooftop playing experience, aimed at making pickleball accessible and aspirational in urban settings. The venue is designed to serve recreational players, amateur competitors, and corporate and community groups
