"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 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.

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.

Survey of 4,000+ U.S. and Australian families finds children report doing more online - from social media to generative AI - than their parents realize.

Frame Security Launches KnowBetter as AI Reshapes Social Engineering8.7.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
AI Is Rewriting the Social Engineering Playbook. Security Awareness Training Hasn't Caught Up. Organizations must KnowBetter. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / Security teams have spent two decades training employees to spot a familiar set of red flags: a suspicious link, a misspelled domain, an urgent request for a wire transfer. That approach is now colliding with an attacker toolkit that has changed faster than most awareness programs have. Generative AI has made it possible to clone a voice from a few seconds of audio, generate a passable deepfake video in minutes, and write a phishing email tailored to a specific employee's role, manager, and recent LinkedIn activity. Vishing calls, smishing texts, and video-based impersonation are now standard components of enterprise social engineering campaigns, not edge cases. "Most organizations are still training people to recognize threats from five years ago," said Tal Shlomo, co-founder and CEO of Frame Security, a huma
