Aspect Sports-owned team showcases strength, agility, and cultural pride as Maharashtra’s premier adventure sports competition heats up.
Mumbai, August 8, 2025: The Pro Govinda League Season 3 Finals opened with high-octane action at Dome SVP, Mumbai, as the Varanasi Mahadev Ascenders, owned by Aspect Sports, secured the second-highest score on Day 1. The team’s flawless human pyramid formations and exceptional coordination thrilled fans, placing them in a strong position in the championship race.
The three-day finale, running from August 7–9, will crown the champions of Maharashtra’s official adventure sport—a competitive transformation of the traditional Dahi Handi festival. The Ascenders’ Day 1 performance was bolstered by the electrifying presence of global cricket icon and league ambassador Chris Gayle, whose energy and engagement set a spirited tone for the high-stakes contest.
Recognised by the Government of Maharashtra as an official adventure sport, the Pro Govinda League celebrates strength, teamwork, and endurance while elevating a centuries-old tradition into a modern competitive spectacle.
Aspect Sports, led by Aksha Kamboj—Executive Chairperson of Aspect Global Ventures and Vice President of the India Bullion & Jewellers Association—acquired the Varanasi Mahadev Ascenders in a fiercely contested team auction. The roster features disciplined, homegrown athletes chosen for their skill, drive, and ability to excel on the national stage.
“Watching the Varanasi Mahadev Ascenders excel on Day 1 of the finals is both exciting and motivating,” said Aksha Kamboj. “We acquired this team with a vision to merge India’s cultural legacy with the athletic excellence this sport demands. At Aspect Sports, we invest in purpose as much as we invest in talent, and today’s performance proves that vision in action. This isn’t just about chasing a trophy—it’s about showing that tradition, teamwork, and tenacity can elevate a local sport to national prominence.”
With growing corporate sponsorships, national broadcasts, and rising fan engagement, Season 3 represents a milestone moment for the league. As the finals progress, anticipation is high to see if the Varanasi Mahadev Ascenders can turn their strong start into championship glory.
