Indian Polo Awards 2026 blend glamour, grit, legacy

The Indian Polo Awards 2026 were held on March 20 in New Delhi, celebrating top players, grooms and trainers who shaped the season, with organisers aiming to honour both on-field excellence and the sport’s deeper ecosystem.
More than just silverware, the night spotlighted polo’s backbone. “We honour not only champions but those who sustain the sport behind the scenes,” founder Maninder Sethi said.
Award winners echoed that theme. “Success here is shared — players, grooms, everyone,” one recipient noted.
Now in its fifth edition, the event has grown into one of India’s premier polo platforms, blending sport, heritage and high society while pushing the game toward a broader audience.
