Ahmedabad: The power of collaboration is unleashed when three accomplished women from diverse areas get together to create Pickle Ball, a completely novel and hitherto uncharted subgenre of unusual sports. The “Ahmedabad Pickleball Arena” was the product of the brainstorming efforts of three women: Radhika Trivedi, Janki Vakil, and Priyata Ravani.

Sanjay Dutt, film director and actor, and Jay Patel, non-resident Indian businessman and philanthropist, were the lucky ones to open the Ahmedabad Pickleball Arena (APA). Dutt wished the strong women success in their new venture, and he emphasised the importance of providing outlets like this for today’s youth, noting that doing so would help them avoid destructive vices like drugs and alcohol while also fostering positive habits like discipline and focus. Dutt also shared that his wife is an entrepreneur, noting that he admires strong, independent women, particularly those who pursue careers in sports.

Jay Patel, like Dutt, praised the women for taking the initiative and commended them on their efforts. He believes that the students at this school will be motivated to make positive changes in their lives and become role models for the next generation. The Ahmedabad Pickleball Arena (APA) combines fun with exercise and a friendly atmosphere to socialise at a time when people have less and less time to get off their couches and into the real world.

Radhika Ravji Trivedi has won several tennis competitions at the national level. Her new business is supported by her partners, Janaki Vakil and Priyata Ravani.
