Mumbai, India – 24 August 2021
Yuvin Esports Pvt. Ltd. is an esports organization engaged in Teams & Talent Management, organizing Community Tournaments and operating Gaming Lounges. Yuvin Esports has long standing legacy not only in Indian esports but also SEA region, as it has been fielding teams having players native of these geographies. Their DOTA2 team comprised of players from Myanmar, was the national qualifier for Southeast Asian Games 2019, wherein esports was included as medal sport for the time ever. Yuvin has also organized cross-border tournaments in which top tier teams from South Asia and SEA region participate.
Lot of endemic brands like HyperX, Dell, RedBull have been supporting Indian esports from its early days but there are hardly any consumer / life-style brands engaged with Indian esports ecosystem. The esports ecosystem being digital native, is ‘The Channel’ to reach millennials and Gen Zs. It is heartening that the times are changing now and are getting acknowledged by top tier Indian brands which are looking to engage with Indian esports.
Yuvin Esports brings one such leading brand, Tata Motors to Indian esports – the name which inspires Trust. For centuries Tatas have adopted sports as an innovative development theme to generate positive socio-economic change in India, be it Football, Hockey, Polo, Cricket and many more.
Obviously, when Tatas enter Indian esports, it needs an exceptional treatment, grand welcome. Yuvin Esports is doing exactly what should be done and brings to you the ‘Yuvin Valorant Invitational’ (YVI).
YVI is specially crafted to announce Yuvin’s engagement with Tata Tiago NRG. Holding true to its ‘New Forever’ brand promise, Tata Motors recently launched the all-new Tiago NRG. Adding yet another exciting product to its wide range of portfolio, this vehicle has been carefully crafted for those who live differently. Positioned as the ‘Urban Toughroader’, the Tiago NRG is not only enhanced aesthetically with an SUV inspired design giving it a muscular look but is also tuned further with a higher ground clearance to give a tough road performance for the go getters. With 4-star safety rating by GNCAP, this vehicle will be launched in 4 attractive colours – Foresta Green, Fire Red, Snow White, Cloudy Grey.
We are equally excited to have RedBull as our Energy Drink Partner for Yuvin Valorant Invitational. Every Indian esports enthusiast respects the contribution RedBull has made to the esports ecosystem. RedBull is known for doing things differently, innovatively.
