Women’s cricket continues to push India into a more progressive era where ambition, leadership, and representation are no longer restricted by gender. The international stage has given athletes a platform to redefine what young girls across the country believe is possible. In this journey, responsible corporations play a key role by amplifying opportunities and helping build systems that support women’s participation at every level.

This year, Ebix took a significant step by aligning with the India Women’s Cricket Team during the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. This association is a reflection of its commitment to women's empowerment, community upliftment, and inclusive national progress. Ebix intends to contribute to a narrative where women are recognised not only as participants but as powerful contributors to India’s global identity.

The Role of Corporate India in Transforming Women’s Cricket

The rise of women’s cricket has brought forward a shift in how society observes talent and ambition. With every match broadcast, young girls witness athletes who look like them competing on the world stage. This visibility builds courage, confidence, and aspiration.

Cricket occupies a special place in India’s social fabric. When women excel in such a widely followed sport, it creates ripple effects that challenge outdated perceptions. Families, educators, institutions, and policymakers begin to see potential where barriers once existed.

Corporate involvement accelerates these shifts. Their ability to support the ecosystem around women’s sports adds to infrastructure, visibility, global exposure, and long-term continuity. When companies stand behind women athletes, it signals trust, belief, and shared responsibility.

Ebix’s Vision for Women's Empowerment and the Strategic Relevance of This Association

As a technology-driven enterprise operating across diverse sectors, Ebix has always prioritised access, innovation, and empowerment. Women's empowerment aligns closely with these values because it strengthens future workforces, improves social mobility, and contributes to equitable progress.

The decision to support the India Women’s Team during the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 fits naturally within Ebix’s long-term commitments.

1. Elevating women achievers on global platforms
   Highlighting women’s excellence at the highest sporting level inspires participation and shapes public perception, and reinforces how capable, ambitious, and skilled women are redefining India’s global presence.
2. Strengthening a purpose-led brand identity
   Modern businesses must demonstrate their commitment to societal progress. Our involvement reflects a belief that gender equality is not a peripheral value but an essential part of nation-building.
3. Contributing to a cultural movement around inclusion
   Women’s cricket has become more than a sport. It is a cultural conversation, and our association helps in amplifying this movement.
4. Demonstrating leadership aligned with global expectations
   Businesses today are evaluated on transparency, values, and contribution to society. Supporting women in sports aligns with the expectations of investors and global partners who prioritise positive social impact.
5. Creating opportunities for long-term development
   Real empowerment comes from continuity. Our involvement adds to this continuity and long-term momentum around women’s cricket in India, acting as a support in enhancing their long-term development

Dr Vikas Garg’s Perspective: Leadership Rooted in Equality and Opportunity

Dr Vikas Garg, the Chairman of Ebix Group and Vikas Groups, says, “Women must have equal access to opportunities, exposure, and resources that help them build meaningful futures. They reshape mindsets, inspire confidence, and set new benchmarks for excellence. Progress begins when we actively amplify their journey.”

His leadership philosophy is a key influence behind Ebix’s commitment to women's empowerment. His viewpoint positions Ebix’s involvement in this global tournament as a meaningful step toward a more balanced and progressive national landscape.

Ebix's Continuous Impact in Driving Growth Beyond the Tournament

While the association with the ICC Women’s World Cup is impactful, its influence extends beyond the event. It encourages:

• More young girls enter sports.
• More institutions to invest in women’s programs.
• More brands to prioritise equality-oriented initiatives.
• More media coverage around women athletes.
• More conversations around capability and leadership.

A single corporate involvement cannot transform society, but it can create momentum. And Ebix’s participation adds a strong voice to the fast-growing movement empowering women in sports.

Strengthening the Future by Strengthening the Women Who Shape It

Ebix’s involvement with the India Women’s Cricket Team reflects its belief that women's empowerment must be a foundational element of India’s growth story. For the organisation, this is not a symbolic gesture but a long-term commitment to visibility, opportunity, and equal access.

This association aligns with Ebix’s broader vision of building an inclusive and future-ready nation. By supporting women athletes at a global platform, the company reinforces its conviction that every woman deserves the chance to lead, compete, and excel in whichever field she chooses.

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 stands as a stage for excellence, ambition, and national pride. For us, it is also an opportunity to strengthen our purpose-driven identity and contribute meaningfully to a movement that is reshaping India’s social narrative. As women continue to rise, we remain committed to standing alongside them and backing initiatives that build a stronger, more confident, and more equitable future for the country.
