    ‘The World Now Knows Armwrestling As Panja’: Co-founder Preeti Jhangiani On Rise Of PPL

    Atal Bihari Vajpayee Training Centre: In just one season of the Pro Panja League, India’s franchise armwrestling league has already crossed over 1.2 billion views across social media. With season 2 set to kick-off at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Training Centre for Disability Sports on Tuesday, the Panja craze has already taken over the city of Gwalior with fans expected to come in numbers.

    In an exclusive conversation with IANS, co-founder of the PPL, and president of the People’s Armwrestling Federation of India, Preeti Jhangiani spoke on the growing craze of the sport, what fans can expect from PPL season 2 and also revealed talks of a potential Pro Panja event in the United Kingdom.

    “Arm wrestling is as it was known in the world, but today the world knows it as Panja and I think this is something we've managed to create after years of hard work. It's not happened overnight and after years of research, not just on the sport of arm wrestling, but also on the business and the sport of leagues. Many leagues have cropped up, but we have to see where the viewership lies and I think those are the leagues that will actually sustain.
