IPL 2021 – ‘GROWW’ Joining as Official Partner:
The list of sponsors for the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) is increasing. Not only has BCCI been able to retain VIVO as a sponsor of ownership, but another official partner is also slated to be announced in the next two weeks. GROWW, an online trading and wealth management company ready to join as an IPL partner. Based on the information available, GROWW will enter into a 3-year contract with IPL for 45 kronor per year.
Dream11 to join IPL as an official partner:
The main sponsor of IPL 2020, Dream11, will return as an official IPL 2021 fictional partner. Dream11 tried to retain the title sponsorship rights for IPL 2021 and even made an offer to VIVO. The deal did not materialize because the bid of 250 kroner per year was well below VIVO's expectations. Now, Dream11 has decided to maintain its former sponsor position as the official fictional partner of the league.
BCCI likely to have 6 Official Partners on Board before IPL 2021
In addition to Dream11, BCCI also has agreements with Unacademy and CRED as official partners. Tata Motors, which has completed its 3-year relationship with IPL, is likely to extend the contract.
Meanwhile, according to BCCI sources, the university is also in discussions with two other brands at this point. A senior BCCI official informed that if all goes well, BCCI will likely have a sixth official partner before the IPL 2021.
“We are in talks with multiple parties. The interest is tremendous at this point and we should have two more official partners before IPL 2021. All because of the unprecedented success of IPL 2020.”, declared the BCCI official
