Indian chess is booming right now. You have great chess players, excellent trainers, good journalists, fine administrators and so on. But all of this would mean nothing if we did not have sponsors. Sponsors are key for making the sport of chess flourish. Sponsors can help us think bigger and better. The Batumi Olympiad 2018 saw a completely new approach in Indian chess. Training camps before the event, excellent hotels, appearance fee, good food and so many little things. All of this was possible because of AICF and Ramco Systems, the company that sponsored the Indian team. We speak with the Founder, mentor and Chairman of Ramco Systems - Mr. Venketrama Raja about his experience of being in Batumi for a few days and sponsoring the Indian team. He also talks about the current situation of Indian chess and how it can be improved further. Mind you, he is also the President of AICF!
