Overview
- Chopra and JSW Sports announced the split on January 5 with statements describing the parting as one of deep respect and pride.
- His association with JSW began in 2016 after being identified through the JSW Sports Excellence Program, marking a decade of management.
- Launching Vel Sports positions Chopra to manage his career directly, a step he is taking during his competitive prime rather than post-retirement.
- AFI official Adille Sumariwalla said Chopra is still recovering from last year’s injuries and has not decided when to begin his 2026 season.
- During his JSW-managed years he won Olympic gold in Tokyo 2021, a world title in 2023, and Olympic silver in Paris 2024, and he and JSW co-organised the NC Classic in Bengaluru last year.
