Abhishek Reddy Kankanala, Principal Owner at the Hyderabad Black Hawks, sees this partnership as a meeting point of two distinct volleyball cultures, offering a gateway for mutual learning and growth: "Our alliance with Pallavolo Padova signifies a unique opportunity to connect with and nurture a vibrant fan base in India, particularly in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh - a region home to over 85 million sports enthusiasts. As we unite our strengths, we aim to make the sport more inclusive and exciting, further solidifying the bond with our fans. Through shared expertise and cultural exchange, we envision this collaboration enhancing our team's performance and driving the development of volleyball in our regions.”

Furthermore, Abhishek Reddy Kankanala, speaking on behalf of A23, the mother company of Hyderabad Black Hawks, emphasizes their dedication to fortifying their association with sports events like volleyball as part of a strategic approach to engage target audiences who appreciate and follow skill-based games. By aligning their brand with such events, they tap into the contagious excitement and unwavering enthusiasm of players and fans, forging a powerful connection. This connection enables them to amplify the relevance of their message to both existing and prospective customers who share a deep interest in sports and gaming, ultimately bolstering brand awareness and fostering higher levels of engagement.
