Delhi Pickleball Sundowner 2025: Over 1,000 people gathered at Ardee Racquet Club in New Friends Colony, Delhi, for the Delhi Pickleball Sundowner, held on July 19 and 20, 2025. The two-day event, co-hosted by Courtly and Ardee Racquet Club and powered by Omaxe Group with support from Mahindra Electric, brought together players and fans from all over India. With more than 250 players, 120 teams, and over 5000 points played in 200+ matches across 6 categories, it became India’s largest pickleball event to date.
The event also made history by selling more than 100 tickets through the District app — a first for a pickleball tournament in the country. In addition, 224 players signed up through the Courtly App, showing the growing use of digital tools in the sport. The venue also featured two new electric vehicles from Mahindra Electric, highlighting their focus on green transport.
A New Chapter for Pickleball in India
This was the third edition of the Courtly Social event, following successful ones in Goa and Mumbai. Courtly is working to grow pickleball in Asia by blending technology, top-notch infrastructure, and fun social experiences. Their goal is to create the perfect place for casual players to enjoy the sport.
“This weekend was a defining moment for the pickleball community in India,” said Tanishq Mahendru, Founder of Courtly. “The scale of participation and the electric energy on and off the court reflect the growing momentum behind this sport — it’s more than a game; it’s becoming a cultural movement.” He added, “Like my father, Ajay Mahendru, often says — ‘Great communities are built the same way great cities are — with vision, intent, and heart.’ That philosophy, shaped through his journey with Mahendru Real Estate, continues to guide how we’re shaping the future of pickleball in India.”
Armaan Varma, Founder of Ardee Racquet Club, also shared his thoughts: “At ARC, we aim to create spaces that bring people together through sport, culture, and experience. This Sundowner was the perfect embodiment of that vision.”
More Than Just a Sports Event
The Delhi Pickleball Sundowner was more than just matches. From 4 PM to 11 PM on both days, the club turned into a lively social scene. Guests enjoyed gourmet meals, craft food options, and creative drinks while a live DJ added to the festive mood.
Omaxe Group, the main sponsor, played a big role in supporting the event. Their project Omaxe Chowk in Chandni Chowk shows their commitment to blending heritage with modern ideas. This retail and cultural space is designed to bring iconic Delhi shops under one roof. By backing the Sundowner, Omaxe is helping build exciting community experiences in important city spaces.

The strong turnout and excitement around this event show how fast pickleball is growing in India. It’s no longer just a game — it’s becoming a part of youth culture and bringing people together. Courtly’s tech-driven platform makes it easy for players to join matches, track games, and stay connected.
Now more than ever, players and fans across India are encouraged to be part of this movement. The Courtly App is available for anyone who wants to play, compete, and connect with others who love the sport.
