Tata Motors has honoured 24 Indian Olympians across different classes such as hockey, wrestling, boxing, golf and discus throw
Tata Motors has today officially announced that it has gifted the Altroz premium hatchback to the Indian athletes who came so close to clinching the bronze medal in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics. The whole country was rallying behind them as they had a tough campaign with competition on an all-time high but the athletes did relish the opportunity.
The Indian Olympic team’s grit and determination took them to greater heights and they exceeded expectations in pretty much every class. They might have narrowly missed on the bottom step of the podium but they taught us never to give in and fight till the last breathe. In doing so, they won the hearts of the millions. To honour them, Tata has gifted 24 Olympians.
They are from different fields such as hockey, wrestling, boxing, golf and discus throw. Each of them has been handed the keys of the High Street Gold colour Altroz as a mark of respect and appreciation towards their achievements. Shailesh Chandra, President, Passenger Vehicle Business, Tata Motors, spoke of the gesture and said:
