Former cricket captain Kapil Dev, whose team had won the National Final of the TAKE Solutions World Corporate Golf Challenge five years ago, will look to repeat the performance when he and his teammate Deepak Gupta tee off at Glenmarie Golf & Country Club here on Tuesday.
The 10th edition of TAKE Solutions National Finals will see 13 corporate teams vying for a spot to represent India at the World Championship of Corporate Golf in Portugal in July.
Each team at the National Final, competed in six regional qualifiers with 600 golfers that took place at Eagleton Golf Resort, Bengaluru, Jaypee Greens Golf Resort, Greater Noida and Oxford Golf & Country Club, Pune in March and April.
Participating teams are Ramesh Swiss Watch, KGA 2, DasaPrakash Group and Garden City from Bengaluru, Dev & Dev Associates, Swiss Military, Prime Tree Capital, CPC Group and Rampur Fertilizers from Delhi & NCR, Siemens, Websym, Oxford Group and Infosys from Mumbai & Pune.
At the world finals in recent years, teams representing corporate India have done well -- Team Credit Suisse won the title 2008, while teams like Jet Airways (2014), Close-up, HUL (2011) and Swiss Military (2010) -- have finished second. The tough qualifying conditions in India have ensured selection of highly competitive teams.
Other participating corporates in the event include Indian Terrain, iYogi, Etihad Airways, Ballantines, NetApp, Spire Technologies, Samsung, Tourism Malaysia, Tiahne Chemicals, Halogolf, HSBC, BusinessWorld and Laqshya Advertising.
The event each year brings together around 300 of the most competitive corporate golf teams in the country to select the team to represent India's corporate community at the 25-year-old World Corporate Golf Challenge World Final, in which around 30 countries compete.
