India is set to make history with the first ever country House at the Paris Olympics 2024, which will begin in a month. The India House at Paris Olympics has been conceptualised by Reliance Foundation as part of their partnership with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
The India House at Paris Olympics will be a celebration of the nation’s rich cultural and sporting heritage, showcasing India’s storied past, vibrant present, and exciting future alongside advances in technology and digitalisation. As India House prepares to open its doors to athletes, dignitaries, and sports enthusiasts from around the world, it will embody the spirit of unity, diversity, and excellence that defines the Indian ethos.
Speaking about the significance of the India House, Nita Ambani, IOC member and Founder and Chairperson of Reliance Foundation said, “It is with immense joy and excitement that I am thrilled to announce the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympic Games. The IOC session in India last year, the first in 40 years, was a key milestone in our Olympic journey. And we are delighted to continue this momentum with the launch of India House – a space where we will honour our athletes, celebrate our wins, share our stories, and welcome the world to India.”
“We truly hope that India House will be one more step towards fulfilling the shared dream of 1.4 billion Indians to bring the Olympic Movement to India,” she further added. She also wished Indian athletes all the best for the Games. “May they shine; and keep the tricolour soaring high on the global stage,” she said.
PT Usha, President of the Indian Olympic Association, said India House will be one of the main attractions at the Paris Olympics. “It will also be a great way for fans and people from other countries to know more about India and what makes it so special. India has proven its mettle as a host of major events and India House will reflect the strides we have made as a sporting nation as well as in the Olympic movement. I would like to thank IOC Member Mrs. Nita Ambani for driving this initiative and India’s Olympic Movement,” Usha said.
A Showcase of Indian Culture and Heritage
Situated in the iconic Parc de la Villette, which has been designated as the “Park of Nations” during the Games, the India House will be surrounded by 14 other Hospitality Houses in the Park, including the Houses from Netherlands, Canada, Brazil and hosts, France. India House will provide a glimpse of India’s talent, potential, and ambition to the world by offering a variety of experiences for fans to immerse themselves in. It will also present fans with experiences like yoga, handicrafts, music, and performances from Indian dance groups.
A Home Away from Home for Indian Athletes and Fans
India House aims to be a home away from home for the country’s attending athletes and to celebrate India’s victories and medal wins. It will also be a space for visitors to interact with sporting legends and the destination to catch key events with friends as it will be open to media and fans from all countries. The Watch Parties of key Indian events will be exclusively held in partnership with Viacom18, the exclusive media rights holders for the Olympic Games in India at the India House.
Celebrating India’s Olympic Journey and Ambition

It symbolises the evolution of India as a formidable contender in the world of sports and reflects the nation’s unwavering commitment to the Olympic movement and ambition to host a future Olympic Games.
Opening the window to India
