Where Sports Meets Structure

2025-06-28

Dalmia Bharat’s shuttlecock-shaped badminton centre in Bhubaneswar is a bold leap in sports infrastructure – symbolic in form, global in ambition and sustainable by design. A collaboration with the Odisha government and Gopichand Academy, it reflects India’s evolving sporting vision.

Building more than an academy

At the heart of ‘Shuttle by Dalmia Bharat’ lies a powerful vision, one that sees infrastructure not merely as physical structures but catalysts for national progress. “With this project, the intent was to build more than a badminton academy,” says Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director & CEO, Dalmia Bharat. “We aimed to create a place that inspires young athletes and redefines what sports infrastructure can look like in India.”
