RWITC signs Omkar for The Indian Turf Invitation Cup 2015
Though the biggest event in Indian racing, The Indian Turf Invitation Cup Weekend is months away, the RWITC has added another feather to its cap by signing an agreement with Omkar Developers and Realtors as the exclusive sponsor for the mega event, to be held in Mumbai in March 2015.
At a surprise ceremony in the paddock at the Pune race course, Vivek Jain, Chairman RWITC inked the deal with Devang Varma, Director, Omkar confirming the tie-up. A celebratory cake cutting with champagne and the symbolic giant sponsorship cheque of Rs. 1.55 crore was exchanged to mark the occasion soon after the running of the first ever Omkar Million.
Vivek Jain stated “It is indeed a great honour for the Club to get the reputed Omkar Group on board for the Invitation, which returns to Mumbai after a four year gap. Though we have led the way in attracting the highest sponsorships for the sport in India, getting a first timer to associate with the pinnacle event for horse racing is indeed a huge boost in our continuous efforts to promote racing.”
Bharat Dhuppar, Chief Marketing Officer, Omkar expressed that both Omkar and the RWITC stand for excellence and they saw a synergy in this partnership. Mr Devang Varma, promoter-director was delighted with their inaugural foray at Pune, and looked forward to a high visibility Invitation Cup at Mumbai.
Omkar will also sponsor two other Grade 1 races- The Sprinters’ and Stayers’ Cups as well as the Turf Authorities of India Racing Excellence Awards Night on the same weekend.
