Global Wrestling Takes a Leap on the International Stage - Global League Wrestling Debuts on September 17, 2025 (in India)
In a groundbreaking move, AdiGroupe, a London-based diversified group with a strategic vision to develop high-value businesses across various sectors, is set to launch India's first global-format professional wrestling league, GLW, on October 4, 2025. The official unveiling event will take place on September 17, 2025, in Delhi.
GLW is not AdiGroupe's first foray into sports entertainment, as AEx SPORT, its sports innovation division, has been at the forefront of creating next-generation sports properties. The league promises to be a 40-week season of episodic sports entertainment, combining family-oriented programming with high production values and original storylines tailored for Indian cultural narratives, yet designed to meet international standards.
The partnership between AdiGroupe, Prasar Bharati, and Australian promoter Cam Vale (owner of Melbourne City Wrestling and Oceania Pro Wrestling) strengthens the credibility and outreach of GLW. WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali serves as GLW's Brand Ambassador and Talent Commissioner, playing a key role in talent development and creative direction, emphasizing GLW as a serious, structured platform for Indian athletes to gain a global stage.
The platforms for GLW are expected to reach a staggering 1 billion viewers, from the largest metros to the smallest villages. It will air on India's public broadcaster DD Sports, stream on the Waves OTT platform, and be broadcast through All India Radio.
AdiGroupe's business philosophy rests on three pillars - innovation-led growth, operational excellence, and creation of stakeholder value. The company invests significantly in talent, technology, and infrastructure to enhance its competitive advantage. AdiGroupe combines technology innovation, operational excellence, and strategic business development to drive growth.
Sanjay Viswanathan, Chairman of AdiGroupe, AEx SPORT, and GLW, stated that GLW is India's statement to the world, showcasing vision, skill, and execution prowess in creating world-class sports entertainment. Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, expressed that GLW offers a unique blend of the discipline and drama of professional wrestling with the cultural depth of India, aiming to reach every home, community, and generation.
GLW combines the athletic intensity of professional wrestling with the richness of Indian storytelling, featuring powerful rivalries, heroic journeys, and emotional sagas. The league plans to set high standards for governance, sustainability, and community impact, reflecting AdiGroupe's commitment to shaping the industries it operates in.
