National Shooting Championship Competitions: In Indian sports, franchise ownership typically stays within boardrooms. However, Mumbai X Calibers, set to join the upcoming Shooting League of India (SLI), stands out. Notably, all three owners of the Mumbai franchise are active shooters.

Ronak Pandit, who won gold at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in the men’s 25m standard pistol (pairs), is presently competing at the 68th National Shooting Championship Competitions (NSCC) in Delhi with his co-owner Zahir Hawa.

Alongside fellow Indian shooter Faiyaz Virani, their combined roles as active athletes and franchise owners represent an extraordinary development in Indian professional sports. They believe this dual identity could be Mumbai X Calibers’ greatest strength.
