Our Story

Grandprix (India) Private Limited (GPI), the flagship company of the GPI Group, was established in 2006 with a bold mission to redefine India's sporting and entertainment landscape. What began as a focused initiative to promote motorsports in India has evolved into a multi-sport, entertainment-first ecosystem that inspires a new generation of fans, athletes, and innovators. At the heart of this vision stands Mr. Bharat Sadanand Shetty, Founder and Managing Director of Grandprix (India) Private Limited. A visionary entrepreneur from Mumbai, Mr. Shetty identified a critical gap in India's sports infrastructure especially in the field of motorsports. During his travels across Europe, he witnessed how motorsports had become cultural cornerstones, driving tourism, youth engagement, and global recognition. In contrast, India's growing community of enthusiasts in cities like Mumbai and Pune lacked the platforms to develop and showcase their talent. Motivated by this insight, Mr. Shetty set out to bridge that gap. His most ambitious initiative yet, the Maharashtra Sports Village (MSV), embodies this dream a one-of-its-kind integrated sports and entertainment complex designed to host national and international sporting events. With a focus on Formula 1, MotoGP, NASCAR, and other high-octane formats, the MSV aims to position India on the global motorsport map while fostering opportunities for athletes, fans, and communities alike. Today, Grandprix (India) Private Limited stands as a symbol of innovation, passion, and progress, combining world-class infrastructure with a deep commitment to India's sporting future. Guided by Mr. Bharat Sadanand Shetty's leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, GPI continues to push boundaries transforming dreams into destinations and redefining what's possible for sports and entertainment in India.
