On this auspicious day, the sports anthem launched by IndianOil rekindles the nation’s passion for sports and the continued support of multiple sports including para-athletics embodies the essence of “Nation First, Always First”.

The video beautifully captures the deep dedication and commitment these athletes have to their sport and most importantly their unwavering determination and tireless pursuit to raise India’s stature on the global sporting stage.
