ONE Championship, the premier mixed martial arts outfit in Asia, is looking to expand its continental influence further.
After chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong had a private audience with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the MMA promotion now looks to tap into the market of the Indian subcontinent.
Sityodtong was in India to at the 2017 Global Entrepreneur Summit and took the opportunity to have a private conversation with Modi.
In a statement, Sityodtong discussed with Modi how India can become one of the biggest markets for ONE Championship.
Sityodtong also gave Modi a plaque of appreciation and a pair of ONE Championship gloves.
Although India is the second-most populous Asian country behind China with almost 1.2 billion people, it has yet to hold a ONE card and the promotion hopes Sityodtong’s conversation with Modi could forge the path.
