GD Goenka Group Joins Delhi Capitals as Official Knowledge Partner for Indian T20 League 2026 Season

New Delhi [India], April 01: GD Goenka Group, one of India’s leading education groups, has partnered with Delhi Capitals as their Official Knowledge Partner for the Indian T20 League 2026 season, bringing together two institutions shaped by a shared belief in ambition, resilience, teamwork, and growth.

At the heart of the partnership is a natural alignment of values. GD Goenka’s THRIVE philosophy stands for being Team-centric, Harmonious, Resilient, Innovative, Versatile, and Empathetic, while Delhi Capitals are guided by Courage, Excellence, Teamwork, Care, and Ownership. Together, these values speak the same language: backing one another, pushing boundaries, taking responsibility, and continuing to grow stronger through every challenge.

There is a powerful symbolism in the coming together of the two institutions. The peregrine falcon that forms the heart of the GD Goenka emblem represents vision, agility, and the ability to rise higher with focus and purpose. The tiger at the centre of the Delhi Capitals crest reflects courage, hunger, and an attacking spirit. One soars, the other roars—but both stand for strength, confidence, and the instinct to keep moving forward.

The association also reflects GD Goenka’s longstanding commitment to sport as an essential part of education and character-building. Across its institutions, the Group has consistently invested in some of the country’s finest sporting infrastructure, including international-standard cricket grounds, professional football pitches, half Olympic-sized swimming pools, shooting ranges, tennis, padel and pickleball courts, indoor sports arenas, and dedicated training facilities designed to help students compete, perform, and grow.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Nipun Goenka, Managing Director, GD Goenka Group, said:

“Cricket and education have more in common than people often realise. Both ask you to prepare, to stay resilient when things do not go your way, to trust your team, and to keep showing up with belief. Delhi Capitals and GD Goenka are built on very similar philosophies, which is why this partnership feels so natural.

At GD Goenka, we have always believed that sport is one of the greatest classrooms. It teaches discipline, character, leadership, and the ability to rise after setbacks. Through this partnership, we hope to bring the spirit of the Indian T20 League closer to our learners and encourage them to not only compete, but to Thrive. For Life.”

Mr. Sunil Gupta, CEO, Delhi Capitals, said, “We are delighted to welcome GD Goenka as our Official Knowledge Partner for the Indian T20 season 2026. This partnership brings together two institutions that believe in the power of learning, teamwork, and continuous growth. Educational institutions play a vital role in shaping communities, and we look forward to building meaningful engagement that inspires young minds to think boldly, take ownership, and strive for excellence. We are excited about what promises to be a strong and impactful partnership.”

Founded over three decades ago by Shri A.K. Goenka, GD Goenka Group has built a strong presence across education, healthcare, travel and tourism, and skill development. Since the establishment of its flagship school in 1994, the Group has grown to include over 150 K-12 schools, more than 150 pre-schools, GD Goenka University, Healthcare academies, and a wide network spanning more than 20 states and union territories.

With over 150,000 students and alumni across the world, GD Goenka continues to shape future-ready individuals through learning environments that encourage academic achievement, creativity, leadership, sport, and character.

Delhi Capitals, co-owned by GMR Group and JSW Sports, continue to be one of the most exciting and competitive teams in the league, known for their fearless style of cricket, strong team culture, and unwavering belief in playing with intent and heart.

As Delhi Capitals gear up for their 2026 campaign, this partnership comes alive at a moment when passion, performance, and possibility take centre stage. Together, GD Goenka Group and Delhi Capitals aim to translate the spirit of the game into meaningful inspiration for young minds, encouraging them to think bigger, push further, and Thrive.
