Jaipur/New Delhi, Jan 19 (.): KogniVera IT Solutions, in association with the Rajasthan Polo Club, on Monday unveiled a landmark moment in the world of polo with the launch of the KogniVera Polo Cup 2026 trophy, set to become the largest polo trophy globally, standing at an imposing nearly seven feet tall. Surpassing the previous six-foot benchmark held by the Kolanka Cup in Chennai, the towering trophy redefines scale and symbolism in the sport, reflecting ambition, excellence and a deep respect for polo’s rich heritage.
The trophy was unveiled at Sonu Nigam’s ‘Deewana Tera’ Tour at Zee Studios, Sitapura, in the presence of Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur.
The dramatic reveal, set against the energy of a packed concert venue, officially marking the countdown to one of the most anticipated fixtures on India’s polo calendar.
The tournament will feature India’s and the world’s finest riders and exceptional polo ponies, promising fiercely contested chukkers and high-octane on-field action. Over the course of the tournament, multiple teams will compete in league and knockout matches starting from January 26, 2026, culminating in a grand final on February 1, 2026.
The tournament will be held across different polo grounds in Jaipur.
Speaking on the occasion, Kamlesh Sharma, Managing Director & CEO, KogniVera IT Solutions, said, “Polo is a sport that represents precision, discipline and teamwork — values that resonate strongly with us at KogniVera. The KogniVera Polo Cup 2026 is not just about competition; it is about celebrating heritage, nurturing sporting
