I have been continuously involved with Equation from its
inception. Its logistics, planning, scale and scope are a result of
Rahul’s passion for India and Indian sport. I am not surprised
at the goodwill it has earned – The Foundation’s work is
compassionate, deep and considered. Who would not support
such an organization?
It is difficult to write about Mahesh Bhupathi purely as a world champion tennis player as his ties
with The Foundation run deep and wide. For Equation, he has donated Roger Federer’s tennis
shoes, a personal gift to him, to The Foundation. And, he has of course pledged the racquet from
the most treasured mixed doubles title in this country’s history – the only Grand Slam won by
an all-Indian pair – Mahesh and Sania Mirza at the Australian Open, 2009. Since 1997 when
Mahesh became the first Indian to ever win a Grand Slam – the mixed doubles crown with Rika
Hiraki at Roland Garros, he has notched another ten under his belt, both in men’s and mixed
doubles. While his place as an all-time doubles tennis great is assured, for us his champion status
stands multiplied because of his unstinting support toward Equation and The Foundation. |
