Mahindra Automotive Australia has signed sponsorship agreements with state-level Volleyball associations in addition to its existing sponsorship with Volleyball Australia.

Brisbane, Australia, February 28, 2025: Mahindra Australia has struck new partnerships with Australia’s Volleyball Associations, expanding the scope of company’s on-going sponsorship. 

These strategic partnerships with Volleyball Queensland, Volleyball NSW, Volleyball Victoria, Volleyball Western Australia, and Volleyball South Australia build on the company’s existing sponsorship agreement with national governing body, Volleyball Australia. 

The sponsorships will provide critical support to each of the state volleyball associations, build on the sport’s popularity across Australia, while showcasing the company’s commitment to developing communities through sport.

Sachin Arolkar, Head of International Operations, Automotive, Mahindra & Mahindra, said, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Volleyball Australia to now include sponsorships with associations in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia. This broader commitment is a testament to Mahindras enduring belief in the power of sport to inspire positive change in communities. Through these partnerships, we aim to elevate the sport of volleyball across Australia, support local talent, and encourage greater participation at all levels.”

The new state-level partnerships will provide vital support to grassroots initiatives, as well as elite volleyball programs, ensuring continued growth and opportunity for athletes, coaches, and fans in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia.

These include initiatives designed to engage local communities, promote health and wellness, and help develop the next generation of volleyball stars. 

Mahindra’s expanded Volleyball sponsorship aligns with the company’s broader corporate vision to promote community development through sport, by encouraging active, healthy lifestyles, and supporting sustainable initiatives that benefit Australian communities.

By supporting both professional and amateur events, Mahindra aims to provide greater exposure and more opportunities for volleyball across all five states.
