Randeep Hooda and his wife, actor and former national-level archer Lin Laishram, are all set to enter the world of sports entrepreneurship as the co-owners of Prithviraj Yodhas, an archery team, together with Dr. Vikas Garg. The team is Delhi’s franchise in the inaugural Archery Premier League (APL). The 10-day league will take place from October 2 to 12, 2025, at the Capital’s Yamuna Sports Complex.

Sharing his excitement, Randeep said, “Owning a team with Lin is incredibly special. Archery has been a big part of her life, and seeing her return to the sport in this way is heartwarming. Together, we want to support these talented athletes and bring archery closer to audiences across India.”

Lin added, “Archery taught me so much, it gave me discipline, patience, and perseverance. Even though I had to leave competitive archery early, my love for the sport never went away. Now, to come back as a team owner and support young archers is a dream come true. I hope we can inspire more people, especially young girls, to pick up the bow and arrow and experience the joy of this sport.”

The Archery Premier League 2025 promises to be a thrilling spectacle, featuring top Indian archers like Deepika Kumari, Dhiraj Bommadevara, Jyothi Surekha Vennam, and Rishabh Yadav, along with international stars including Mike Schloesser (Netherlands), Andrea Becerra (Mexico), and Brady Ellison (USA). Six franchises, each with a mix of Indian and foreign talent, will compete in a double round-robin format, culminating in semifinals and the final. With eight archers per team, including four men and four women, the league aims to make archery more exciting and accessible to fans, blending skill, strategy, and entertainment.
