Livspace, India’s leading home interiors and design services platform, has joined as the title sponsor of Delhi Redz, one of the six teams competing in the country’s inaugural Rugby Premier League (RPL). The much-anticipated league officially kicked off on June 15, introducing Rugby Sevens to a mainstream Indian audience for the first time.
Delhi Redz: A Powerhouse Team for a Historic League
Owned by RMZ Corp, the Delhi Redz will compete against five other teams: Mumbai Dreamers, Bengaluru Bravehearts, Chennai Bulls, Hyderabad Heroes, and Kalinga Black Tigers. The team has assembled an international line-up of players from Ireland, Kenya, Argentina, Spain, Hong Kong, Canada, Germany, and India.
Leading the team is Matías Osadczuk, who represented Argentina at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He will be supported by international stars including Matteo Graziano, considered one of the world’s top Sevens players, and Patrick Odongo, a rising star from the Kenya Sevens squad.
The Delhi Redz are coached by the legendary Tomasi Cama, a Fijian-born Rugby Sevens icon and the all-time leading points scorer for the All Blacks Sevens. Cama, who was named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year in 2012, brings unmatched expertise and global recognition to the team.
Livspace: Backing Bold Ideas and Fresh Sporting Stories
Kartikeya Bhandari, Chief Marketing Officer at Livspace, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership:
“At Livspace, we’ve always believed in backing bold ideas—whether it’s reimagining how India designs its homes or supporting emerging stories in sport. Our partnership with Delhi Redz gives us a meaningful way to engage with young, urban audiences while being part of a fresh, ambitious movement built for India. We’re proud to stand alongside RMZ in bringing rugby into the national spotlight.”
Sidharth Menda and Mihir Menda, Supervisory Board members at RMZ Corp, shared:
“Delhi Redz was built to ignite a new chapter for sport in India—one that is bold, inclusive, and forward-looking. Livspace joining us as title sponsor reinforces this vision. This partnership is more than branding; it’s about creating cultural relevance and driving national impact. Together, we are shaping a movement to elevate rugby in India and inspire future generations.”
