Asian Games 2023: India Ranks Fourth in Medal Tally with 107 Medals

India Inc. deserves some of the credit for India's record-breaking performance of 107 medals at the Asian Games. Many medal winners are supported by big corporate houses such as Reliance Industries, Tata Group, JSW Group, and Adani Group, which provide sponsorships, scholarships, training, and other initiatives to help emerging talent prepare for the global stage.

India finished fourth in the Hangzhou event's medal rankings.

Nita Ambani, the chairperson of the Reliance organization, stated that athletes backed by the organization earned 12 medals in the Games. JSW Sports, the group's sports branch, reported that competitors it supported won 17 medals, including four golds, eight silvers, and five bronzes.

“At Reliance Foundation, we remain committed to supporting our young athletes and fostering and nurturing talent in sports,” Ambani said. The foundation, the principal partner of the Indian Olympic Association and Athletics Federation of India, supports over 200 athletes across ten disciplines through scholarships and training.

Through its Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS), JSW Sports sponsors 4,000 athletes in track and field, judo, wrestling, boxing, and swimming.

"The big success story for Indian sport at the Asian Games has been not only crossing the overall 100-medal mark, but the rise of Indian athletics on the global stage," said Parth Jindal, founder and director of JSW Sports. "Some brilliant performances led this by JSW Sports-represented athletes, including Neeraj Chopra, Avinash Sable and Parul Chaudhary."
