The Asian Games: As the 2026 Indian Open approaches, India’s squash star Ramit Tandon is gearing up to showcase his skills on home soil. Scheduled from March 18 to 22 at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium, the tournament is crucial in Tandon’s busy year, which also includes preparing for the 2026 Asian Games, a major event that doubles as a pathway to the Olympics.

In an exclusive interview with IANS, Tandon reflected on the current state of Indian squash, the pressures and perks of playing at home, and what success looks like for him at this stage of his career. With a unique perspective bridging past and future generations of Indian squash, Tandon’s insights highlight not only his personal journey but also the growing ecosystem of support that is propelling Indian squash to new heights.

With just over a week to go before the Indian Open, Tandon is in his taper phase, where training intensity decreases to allow peak performance during the tournament.
