Nippon Paint partners with badminton duo Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy

Badminton players Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy have been confirmed as Nippon Paint brand ambassadors. The top badminton doubles team from India recently won the 2023 Swiss Open and are presently ranked fifth in the world.

Rankireddy and Shetty have been playing together since 2015. At the BWF World Championships last year, the two made history by becoming the first men’s doubles team from India to earn a bronze medal. Additionally, they have won six BWF International Challenge events, a gold and a silver at the Commonwealth Games, and five BWF World Tour competitions. The pair played a crucial role in the legendary Thomas Cup-winning team as well, helping India win its first championship.

As part of the collaboration, Nippon Paint will get the location for the pendant logo on the players’ jerseys at all BWF events.
