The Times of India will be the title sponsor while the co-sponsors will be OIL India, SBI, and Volkswagen.
In addition to the golf tournament, a workshop on the game 'Green Jacket' is planned for those pursuing MBA, in order to provide a preliminary idea of the corporate sport to the future leaders. Organized with a view to offer comprehensive training by professional golf trainers, a scheduled workshop would run parallel to the tournament to promote the sport among the future managers at B-schools.
