Mobikwik has announced a significant partnership with the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Rajasthan Royals, becoming the franchise’s Official Payments Partner for the 2026 season. This collaboration marks Mobikwik‘s first-ever sports partnership, aligning two icons of young, aspirational India.
The partnership will manifest through co-branded marketing campaigns, on-ground activations, and digital and in-app integrations, offering millions of fans seamless UPI payments and access to instant personal loans powered by Mobikwik. This strategic move is aimed at capturing India’s next 100 million digital payment users.
Mobikwik’s brand purpose focuses on serving the aspirational young India, a generation that utilises UPI for quick payments, avails instant credit, and expects their financial apps to be as contemporary and intuitive as other digital solutions. Rajasthan Royals, known for its young and dynamic talent, resonates with this audience. The team’s 2026 squad features prominent players like Yashashvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Riyan Parag, Jofra Archer, and Shimron Hetmyer.
Bipin Preet Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of Mobikwik, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Cricket is the single most powerful unifier of a billion-plus Indians. IPL doesn’t just unite India but it defines its energy. And we’re stepping in at the very heart of it. Our partnership with RR is all about owning those high-intensity, everyday moments and seamlessly connecting them to Mobikwik’s UPI, Loans & Payments ecosystem.”
Alok Chitre, Chief Operating Officer of Rajasthan Royals, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Mobikwik as our Official Payments Partner for IPL 2026. At Rajasthan Royals, our focus has always been on building a strong and meaningful connection with our fans, who are at the heart of everything we do. We look forward to building a meaningful and impactful association together, as we continue to engage and celebrate our fans throughout the season.”
Fans can expect exclusive Mobikwik offers, co-branded marketing campaigns, and integrated payment experiences across RR merchandise and ticketing throughout the tournament. Limited-edition in-app activations and milestone rewards will keep the excitement alive beyond the final ball.
