New Delhi: After a five-year hiatus, international polo is set to make a grand return to the capital. KogniVera IT Solutions, in partnership with the Indian Polo Association and the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, will host a prestigious clash between India and Argentina at the iconic Jaipur Polo Ground.

Argentina, the reigning powerhouse of global polo, arrives with world-class players celebrated for their unmatched horsemanship and mastery of the sport. For Team India, this encounter is both a formidable challenge and a golden opportunity, a chance to test themselves against the very best and reignite India’s standing on the international polo stage.

Facing them on the field is Team Argentina, which comprises Juan Augustin Garcia Grossi, Salvador Jauretche, Matias Bautista Espasandin, and Nicolas Jorge Corti Maderna. Collectively, the two teams are poised to deliver a spectacular contest characterized by strategy, strength, and horsemanship.

Mr. Kamlesh Sharma, MD & CEO of KogniVera IT Solutions, emphasized the broader vision behind the event: “At KogniVera, we’ve always believed in building bridges through technology, through innovation, and now, through sport. Polo is more than heritage; it embodies vision, precision, and teamwork, values that drive our organization. This match is about reigniting India’s place in the global polo narrative, inspiring young talent, providing international exposure, and making the sport accessible to new audiences. Polo began in India; it’s time the world takes notice again.”

The event also promises to be a vibrant social celebration, blending culture, camaraderie, and shared passion between India and Argentina.
