Ambit’s deep-rooted commitment to chess in India
Ambit Private Limited has been one of the biggest supporters of chess in India. As chess is growing faster, it’s exciting to see more corporates becoming a part of this journey. As Mr. Ashok Wadhwa, the CEO of Ambit shared with us earlier, chess has always been a part of their culture. They have been organizing annual in-house chess tournaments for many years. On top of that, they also have a special ‘Ambit Chess Committee’ that has been working hard to promote chess in India.
In a past interview, Karan Wadhwa, the Director of Ambit, shared that chess is his go-to way of staying active. It not only helps him stay focused but also teaches him to handle unpredictability… something common in both chess and finance. In fact, his dedication to the game is not limited to himself or his office; he has been encouraging his family members to join in too. This shows how committed Ambit is to promoting chess!
In December 2023, Ambit took a big step forward by sponsoring GM Vidit Gujrathi who is now their brand ambassador. By supporting one of India’s top grandmasters, they wanted to inspire more people to take up the game. One year later, they hosted a simul with Vidit, giving their employees an opportunity to play against a Grandmaster! It was a great success and they brought it back again this year. At this year’s simul, Ashok Wadhwa made a generous decision to sponsor Narayani Marathe’s chess expenses for the year. All these gestures reflect how passionate Ambit is about supporting chess growth in India.
After seeing their passion for chess, the next step was, in a way, meant to happen. They recently launched the Ambit Chess Club - a place where chess lovers can connect, learn and play together! This space was inaugurated on ChessBase India’s ninth anniversary - 18th January, at the Ambit House in Lower Parel, Mumbai.
A great start left the players excited for what's next! That’s why to keep the excitement going, the club hosted two thrilling events in two consecutive weeks.
The Ambit Chess Club is open only on Saturdays between 6 PM - 9 PM. If you want to participate in such events, then you need to register here first.
