"It's an honor to be selected as Global Brand Ambassador for U.S. Polo Assn., a brand that is so popular and respected in my home country of India and so authentic to the sport of polo," said His Highness, Padmanabh Singh, Maharaja of Jaipur. "I look forward to representing the brand with great enthusiasm at sporting and fashion events and on social media for fans and consumers around the world!"
The Role of a U.S. Polo Assn. Global Brand Ambassador
The scope of Pacho's role as Global Brand Ambassador is broad and designed to shine the spotlight on talented polo players and the authenticity of the brand around the world. He will be outfitted in U.S. Polo Assn. apparel and performance gear both on and off the field, share his polo-related and other daily activities on social media, participate in sporting and fashion events on behalf of U.S. Polo Assn., as well as engage in media requests for interviews and campaigns.

His Highness Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh and the Sport of Polo
His Highness brings to U.S. Polo Assn. his spirit of sportsmanship and distinctive style that he displays both on and off the field.
Pacho is passionate about the sport of polo and has represented India in the sport across the world. He was named Captain of the Indian National Polo Team in 2022. His journey began while he was at school in the U.K., where he joined the prestigious Guards Polo Club and played at different levels in the U.K. He has won almost every major polo tournament in India and was also the youngest player to win the India Open.
He is also working towards promoting polo in Jaipur through various initiatives like high-goal tournaments, Ladies' Polo, and Junior Polo. He has recently revived the historic Jaipur Polo Team to keep the rich legacy of his family's contributions to the sport alive. The Jaipur Polo Team was revered as one of the greatest in the world and reigned supreme during its time, winning every major polo tournament including the World Cup in 1957 at Deauville, France.
As patron of the Rajasthan Polo Club, Pacho has instituted various training programs for young sportspersons to enable them to learn riding and polo at very nominal rates, with special programs for girls. It is also thanks to Pacho's efforts that every polo season now includes low-goal tournaments, Ladies' Polo, and Out of Hat series for aspiring young players to participate in, encouraging greater participation and inclusivity in a sport perceived by many as elitist. As a result, and unlike any other polo center, Jaipur sees polo fans from many different demographics rush to see and support the game. This is encouraged by His Highness through free access for all games organized at the polo club.

U.S. Polo Assn.'s popularity in India has only grown with the population, making India prime to be the global brand's fastest-growing market.

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2026 / Ten years ago, algorithmic trading was the exclusive territory of investment banks and hedge funds. Today, a retail trader with $100 and a smartphone can access the same class of automated execution that once required a team of quants and millions in infrastructure. That's not an exaggeration. It's the shift that's quietly reshaping stock and forex markets, and AI trading agents are at the center of it. The Old Way Is Breaking Down Manual trading made sense when markets moved slowly enough for humans to keep up. That world no longer exists. Forex markets process over $7 trillion in daily volume. Crypto trades around the clock across hundreds of exchanges. Stock prices react to news in milliseconds. The information moves faster than any individual trader can process, and emotions, such as fear, greed, and hesitation, make an already difficult job even harder. The traders who thrived in this environment were either exceptionally disciplined o

Business Leaders Still Primarily Use AI for Simple Tasks, Study from General Assembly and EZRA Finds19.5.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
