Le Frehindi is thrilled to announce its pivotal role in the establishment of India House at the Paris Olympics, a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with the Reliance Foundation and the Indian Olympic Association. This first-of-its-kind facility will serve as a “home away from home” for Indian athletes and their families, providing a familiar and supportive environment amidst the high-pressure atmosphere of the Olympics.
Key Features and Objectives:
- Commemorative Section: India House will feature a dedicated section celebrating India’s 100-year journey at the Olympics. This area will showcase the country’s rich sporting history, highlighting significant achievements and milestones.
- Inspiration and Motivation: By connecting athletes with India’s sporting legacy, the commemorative section aims to inspire and motivate them to strive for excellence.

Le Frehindi’s Involvement: Le Frehindi is honored to be an integral part of this collaboration, delighted to contribute to an initiative that resonates deeply with our mission. Le Frehindi has provided comprehensive logistical support and a dedicated group of volunteers to ensure the smooth operation of India House.
To prepare for their roles, Le Frehindi volunteers underwent an intensive three-day training session. During this training, they immersed themselves in the rich tapestry of Indian art and culture. They learned about various artifacts and handicrafts, understanding how they are made and the artisans behind them. This training also covered the legacy these artisans carry on, allowing volunteers to share these fascinating stories with visitors at the Swadesh pavilion, guaranteeing a seamless and enriching experience for all visitors and encouraging them to support Indian art and culture.
Le Frehindi’s unwavering commitment to this initiative underscores our dedication to showcasing India’s culture and supporting our athletes on the global stage. We are proud to play a crucial role in making India House a landmark of Indian pride and support at the Paris Olympics.

India House will not only offer comfort but also serve as a motivational hub, reminding them of the rich legacy they are a part of,” he stated.
