Clear Vision For Champions: Disha Eye Hospitals Partner With Kolkata Knight Riders As Official Vision Partner

In a landmark Vision meets Victory moment,Disha Eye Hospitals, East India’s leading eye care providers headquartered in Kolkata, has announced its partnership with three-time Indian Premier League champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), joining the franchise as the Official Vision Partner for the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

This landmark collaboration marks the coming together of two homegrown giants of the City of Joy. Over the years, the Kolkata Knight Riders have distinguished themselves as a franchise with a clear, forward-looking vision, building a formidable sporting legacy through sharp strategy and grassroots development. As three-time IPL titleholders, they have become the undisputed champions for the people of East India and beyond—a status that deeply resonates with Disha’s own commitment to being the region’s leading champion of accessible, world-class eye care.

The partnership reflects the shared philosophy of both organizations—an unwavering commitment to excellence, performance and community impact.

In high-performance sports like cricket, sharp vision and quick visual reflexes play a crucial role in reaction time, hand-eye coordination and on-field decision-making, making professional eye care an essential aspect of athlete performance and wellbeing. The Kolkata Knight Riders team will also be welcomed to visit Disha Eye Hospitals to experience the hospital’s advanced diagnostic infrastructure and cutting-edge eye care technologies.

“When we founded Disha Eye Hospitals in 1997, our vision was simple yet profound—to ensure that world-class, affordable eye care becomes a fundamental right for everyone, not a privilege. Partnering with a champion team like the Kolkata Knight Riders feels like a natural extension of that vision. KKR represents the passion of Bengal, and Disha represents its care. Together, we look forward to championing the cause of eye health with the same spirit and determination that KKR brings to the cricket field. I am glad two Icons of Kolkata – Disha and KKR unite”, Dr. Debasish Bhattacharya, Chairman, Disha Eye Hospitals.

“This partnership is rooted in a deep and authentic connect with Kolkata. Disha Eye Hospitals is a proud home-grown brand that reflects the resilience, warmth and spirit of the city, much like Kolkata Knight Riders. Through this collaboration, we aim to drive meaningful impact by raising awareness around eye health and making quality care more accessible for everyone”, Mr Venky Mysore, Chief Executive Officer, KKR.

Beyond the field, the partnership will also focus on fan engagement and community outreach. During KKR’s home matches in Kolkata, Disha Eye Hospitals will host exciting fan-centric activities and interactive initiatives aimed at promoting awareness about eye health among cricket fans. Also they will extend this collaboration benefits to its patients also.
