Speaking on the occasion the film star and director Srinivas Avasarala said, my fitness mantra is to go to the gym as soon as I get up from bed, but never do. By visiting the Sports Expo and seeing many fitness freaks, I am now motivated and doubly charged to get back to fitness, which I skipped after COVID-19.

It is very important to have an active lifestyle. And my message to people is that your body is a very important thing in life. Be fit and take care of it. It is better to be fit rather than regret later, the film star added. Be fit and keep the lifestyle diseases and doctors away, he added.

The expo is a B2C platform that unites leading brands and exhibitors from diverse segments of the sports, fitness, nutrition, and wellness industry. It has 55 exhibitors informed TS Srikanth, Business Head of Hitex.

DECATHLON, a global leading multi-specialist sports brand, today announced a significant investment of €100 million in India over the next five years. This investment will be channelled towards expanding the store network to reach 190 stores across India, enhancing digital engagement, and deepening its commitment to local manufacturing.

India has emerged as a pivotal market for DECATHLON, exhibiting remarkable growth. This substantial investment underscores the company’s long-term vision for the country, extending beyond business growth to foster sports participation and sustainable development.

Its vibrant market and talented workforce present unprecedented opportunities. We are committed to accelerating our growth here, expanding our reach, and making a positive impact on people’s lives through sports. India’s potential to become a global manufacturing and innovation hub for DECATHLON is immense and we are excited to nurture local talent and contribute to India’s journey towards becoming a sporting powerhouse.”

Sankar Chatterjee, Chief Executive Officer, DECATHLON India: “India is a dynamic and growing market with a burgeoning sports culture.
