KKR joins hands with Disha Eye Hospitals ahead of IPL 2026

Three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed a new partnership with ophthalmology chain Disha Eye Hospitals, who will join the Kolkata-based franchise as their Official Vision Partner for the upcoming IPL 2026 season. The partnership will see both work together on various fan initiatives and expand access to reliable eye health services in Kolkata and beyond. 

Venky Mysore, Chief Executive Officer at KKR, commented,

“This partnership strengthens our commitment to Kolkata’s community through a collaboration rooted in shared values of excellence and accessibility. Our association with Disha Eye Hospitals will enable us to deliver meaningful impact for fans on and off the field.”

Dr. Debasish Bhattacharya, Chairman and Managing Director, Disha Eye Hospitals, said,

“When we founded Disha Eye Hospitals in 1997, our vision was simple yet profound: to ensure that world-class, affordable eye care is a fundamental right for everyone, not a privilege. Partnering with a champion team like the Kolkata Knight Riders feels like a natural extension of that very ethos. KKR represents the passion of Bengal, and Disha represents its care. Together, we are taking our decades-old commitment to the masses, championing the cause of eye health with the same relentless spirit that KKR brings to the pitch.”
