MUMBAI: Pro Kabaddi League franchise Puneri Paltan claims to have registered a 150 per cent increase in revenues over last year during the season just ended.
Puneri Paltan also registered an increase of 60 per cent in its social media fan base during the PKL season held between July 28 to October 28 this year. “From having not a single sponsor in season one to being associated with national brands in season 5, Puneri Paltan has come a long way. Among all the teams that played, Puneri Paltan was the only team which has successfully sold all the available sponsorship spots in the recently concluded PKL season 5,” says an official statement.
Puneri Paltan lost in the Eliminator 3 to eventual champions Patna Pirates. “Merchandise sales were also good and there was a whopping increase in sales by 2600 per cent,” said CEO Kailash Kandpal. “Pro Kabaddi League Season 5 has been fabulous for us. Our progress has been good, from having no sponsors on board to having national brands like Syska, Force Motors and Kirloskar in season 5.”
