Aditya Mehta Foundation Collaborates With Flutter To Strengthen Para-sports Training And Coaching

Flutter Entertainment India has partnered with the Aditya Mehta Foundation to boost India's para-sports ecosystem through a targeted investment of INR 60 lakh. The funding will strengthen training, rehabilitation,

and adaptive equipment support for up to 15 para-athletes who are preparing for elite events, including the Asian Youth Para Games and the Paralympic Games 2028.

The partnership links Flutter Entertainment India LLP, the Hyderabad-based centre of excellence for Flutter, with Aditya Mehta Foundation, which works in para-sports rehabilitation and high-performance training. The collaboration focuses on helping athletes train with dignity and access reliable infrastructure, nutrition, and coaching so that performance on international stages can improve.

Flutter Entertainment India funding for para-sports ecosystem programmes

Flutter Entertainment India has allocated INR 60 lakh across two Aditya Mehta Foundation programmes. One covers training, rehabilitation centre and adaptive gym upgrades, nutrition, coaching, and competition support. The other focuses on customised adaptive devices and sport-specific equipment. These combined efforts are expected to directly assist around 15 para-athletes in their high-performance journeys.

The first programme aims to upgrade AMF's existing training ecosystem rather than create a new facility. It will support rehabilitation services, adaptive gym improvements, sports science inputs, physiotherapy, and structured nutrition plans. The intention is to create a safer and more inclusive training space where para-athletes can follow consistent routines under professional guidance.

Training support and devices for para-sports ecosystem development

The second programme will provide customised wheelchairs, cycles, prosthetics, and other adaptive devices based on each athlete's sport and needs. This also includes sport-specific gear that supports safety, precision, and accessibility during training and competition. AMF and Flutter Entertainment India expect these tools to help athletes compete more effectively at national and international levels.

Details of the two programmes and their core focus areas are presented below in a structured format for clarity.

Aditya Mehta Foundation role in para-sports ecosystem

Aditya Mehta Foundation, founded in 2013, is described as Asia's first organisation dedicated only to para-sports rehabilitation and high-performance training. Since its inception, the foundation has helped Indian para-athletes win more than 450 international medals. Many athletes have moved from grassroots level to world competitions through long-term support and structured programmes.

By working with AMF, Flutter Entertainment India aims to add momentum to this medal record. The company intends to bring in more consistent funding for rehabilitation, coaching, and equipment. The collaboration also aligns with AMF's stated belief that when para-athletes receive world-class resources, their performance can translate into podium results for India across multiple events.

Aditya Mehta, International Para-Cyclist and Founder of Aditya Mehta Foundation, said, "We are delighted to partner with Flutter, whose support will significantly strengthen India's para-sports ecosystem. Para-athletes require specialized training, rehabilitation and adaptive equipment, and this investment will directly help them access these essential resources. The collaboration will enable athletes to compete in key national and international tournaments, including World Championships and World Cups, which are crucial for earning qualification points. This support aligns with our shared vision of securing multiple slots for the 2028 Paralympics and elevating talented para-athletes to the highest levels of global competition. "

Ashish Sinha, Managing Director, Flutter Entertainment India, said, "Para-athletes represent resilience, ambition, and the belief that sport should be accessible to everyone. Our partnership with the Aditya Mehta Foundation reflects Flutter's long-term commitment to creating high-quality training ecosystems that enable athletes to perform at their best. By strengthening access to adaptive equipment, sports science, and professional coaching, we aim to support para-athletes in achieving their full potential and competing with confidence on the global stage. "

Flutter Entertainment links this partnership to its global "Do More" initiative, which is a core part of Flutter's Positive Impact Plan. The company has set a goal to help improve the lives of 10 million people by the end of 2030. Support for para-athletes through training access, sports science, and adaptive resources forms one strand of that objective.

The collaboration between Flutter Entertainment India and Aditya Mehta Foundation places para-athletes at the centre of the planning, funding, and programme design. With structured training, better rehabilitation facilities, customised equipment, and pathways to major competitions, the partnership seeks to strengthen India's para-sports ecosystem while creating more opportunities for athletes to compete internationally with confidence.
