New Delhi: STAGE, the pioneering platform driving the #BoliyonKiKranti movement, is proud to announce Olympic Gold Medalist Neeraj Chopra’s coming on board with them as investor. Neeraj’s investment represents a shared commitment to safeguarding and amplifying Bharat’s diverse and rich cultural heritage inherent in regional dialects, ushering in a new era of cultural resurgence through the STAGE platform.
STAGE and Neeraj Chopra have formed a strategic alliance to redefine boundaries, raise cultural consciousness, and lead a revolution in preserving and celebrating Bharat’s linguistic diversity.
Vinay Singhal, the CEO, and Co-Founder of STAGE announced this historic partnership at a unique spot – Neeraj’s ancestral village of Khandra in Panipat – elevating the announcement to an emotional and culturally significant public event.
“We believe in the compelling force of storytelling and the unifying potential of regional content. Neeraj Chopra’s involvement adds an impactful and relevant dimension to our mission, and we are elated to welcome him aboard,” expressed Mr. Vinay Singhal.

We will embark on a journey together to reawaken dormant languages and empower every voice, ensuring that our cultural heritage thrives in its true form through this platform.”
Talking about the association, Divyanshu Singh, COO of JSW Sports said, “Neeraj is a global icon who remains very local and connected to his roots. He has done immensely well for our country at the international level, but he has stayed true to his personality, and from that perspective, we feel that this is a very strategic partnership. His coming on board as an investor with STAGE, which is a very dialect-centric OTT platform is very relevant to him and the brand. It’s a long-term association, and one we at JSW Sports are very delighted to have facilitated for him,”
These stirring words represent a collective commitment to spur innovation and foster cultural pride by restoring people’s identities via regional dialect-based content.
