Tata Steel has always held Sports as an integral part of a better quality of life. The Founder, Jamsetji Tata has directed his son Dorabji Tata to "be sure there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens. Reserves large areas for football, hockey..."

Today, Tata Steel spearheads the corporate promotion of sports at a generic level through its relentless and constant encouragement to professional sportspersons, amateurs and its own employees. It leads the effort by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) to create "golden hopes" for India.

It is the only Indian company to invest in world-class facilities, create academies and to maintain and manage international level arenas.

The cadets of its Tata Football Academy, the nursery for the sport in India, as well as those of the Tata Archery Academy, the only one of its kind for archery, have justified the faith that the Company has in the talent and ability of its youth. Today, a significant part of the Indian Football team, India’s best archers, some of its finest cricketers, athletes, shooters, a Grand Master and several national and international legends have realised their dreams as a result of the support they have received from Tata Steel.
