Preeti Jhangiani, co-founder of the Pro Panja League and President of the People’s Arm-Wrestling Federation India, stepped into the spotlight at the prestigious FICCI TURF 2025 summit — not just as a celebrity, but as a trailblazer for “panja,” India’s homegrown arm-wrestling sport.
Her participation at the industry forum comes at a high point: Pro Panja League’s Season 2 smashed viewership records, reaching 250 million households across television platforms. Simultaneously, the league crossed 150 million+ social media views, with more than 100 million on Instagram alone.
By sharing the stage at FICCI with top sports-industry minds, Preeti reinforced her mission: to professionalize and globalize arm-wrestling. Her presence isn’t just symbolic — it signals that panja has rapidly evolved into one of India’s fastest-rising sports properties, capturing massive audiences and industry attention with its record-breaking reach.
As the league eyes international expansion in Season 3, her dual role — bridging the sport’s grassroots roots with corporate and media power — makes her one of its most influential champions.
