Corporate Olympics History & Evolution
From its modest origins to becoming India’s most prestigious corporate sports championship, the Corporate Olympics has grown into a symbol of excellence, unity, and athletic ambition in the professional world.
The Foundation Year
The Corporate Olympics was launched in 2018 as Chennai’s first large-scale, multi-sport championship for corporates. It brought together top companies to compete in a spirit of teamwork, fitness, and friendly rivalry, setting a new benchmark for corporate sporting excellence.🏆 TCS emerged as the inaugural champions, marking the beginning of a prestigious legacy.
Season 2: A Major Leap

With 125 leading companies and over 5000 athletes, the championship expanded its reach and raised the competitive bar. 🏆 Verizon claimed the championship title, showcasing exceptional teamwork and athletic dominance.
A Pause in Play
The Corporate Olympics was temporarily paused in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. While the fields fell silent, the spirit of competition and camaraderie remained strong among the corporate community. This period reinforced the importance of health, resilience, and the power of sport in bringing people together — values that continue to define the championship’s return.
The Grand Comeback
After a four-year pause, the Corporate Olympics made a spectacular return in 2024, reigniting the corporate sporting spirit with record-breaking participation. With 150 companies and 6,500 athletes back in action, the championship proved that the drive for fitness, teamwork, and glory had only grown stronger. 🏆 Zoho emerged as the 2024 champions, showcasing excellence both on and off the field.
