Sports brand Puma has partnered with leading esports organisation Orangutan Esports as their official kit sponsor.

With this association, Orangutan’s athletes will wear the official jersey and other merchandise created exclusively by Puma.

The two brands will collaborate and work together to promote the esports community in the Indian market.

Commenting on the association, Jai Shah, co-founder of Orangutan Esports in a statement said, “Esports in India is gaining popularity but lacked a breakthrough.
