Pullela Gopi Chand made Indian Badminton and Global Sports history by winning the All England Badminton Championships on Sunday March 11th, 2001. 21 years after Prakash Padukone, another Indian has reached the summit at badminton’s premier event. To beat the reigning Olympic Gold Medallist and then the World No. 1, in back to back matches, which also just happen to be the Quarter-Final and Semi-Final of the biggest Badminton Championship in the world AND to go on to win the Final too, is the stuff that movie scripts are made off. Only this is real life and Gopi has done it.

Pullela Gopi Chand is the brightest star to emerge on the Indian badminton scene after Prakash Padukone. Young, prodigiously talented, totally focussed and blessed with good looks and charm, Gopi Chand is the “Total Package”. The perfect role model and a wonderful brand ambassador prospect for any FMCG product.
