Ace Tennis player and Olympian Vishnu Vardhan says, “There was always a need for an organised tennis retail platform where players can find everything they are looking for. Tennishub was built out of passion with a sincere mission of giving back to the tennis community. I am happy with the way we have grown from 2013.”

Afroze adds, “Online has 30-35% market share of the overall tennis business, and half of that is with Tennishub. The remaining 65-70% is what we are looking to serve by getting into the retail space. The store is going to offer customers fully integrated shopping experience by combining retail and online experience. Customers can seamlessly order online and pick up or return at store”.
