For the first time ever, India has its own pavilion, the India House, at the 2024 Olympic Games, in the French capital city of Paris.
The India House has been established by the Reliance Foundation in partnership with the IOA (Indian Olympic Association) and showcases “India’s storied past, vibrant present, and exciting future alongside advances in technology and digitalisation”.
The India House commemorates the completion of 100 years of the country’s Olympic participation. It is located at the Parc de la Villette in Paris, which has been designated as the ‘Park of Nations’ during the Games and surrounded by 14 other hospitality houses, including those from the Netherlands, Canada, Brazil and France.
The hospitality house serves as a ‘home away from home’ for fans, athletes and their families during the event. They can also gather for exclusive watch parties, celebrate with Indian athletes who win medals at the Games, and savour authentic Indian food and drinks. Those who visit the India House will also be treated to experiences like mallakhamb, yoga and Indian dance..
