Chess doesn't see too many corporate sponsors coming to support the game. Akshayakalpa came in a big way to support it, spending nearly 40 lakh rupees for the biggest state tournament ever held in the history of Indian chess. Once the tournament ended we asked CEO Shashi Kumar whether his expectations as a sponsor were fulfilled and whether he would continue his support to the game of chess. The answer was a big yes. As players, organizers and other parts of the chess community it is our duty to ensure that companies like Akshayakalpa see value in the game of chess and continue their support.
