Bengaluru’s Racquet Revolution: How Padel is Quietly Taking Over the City

Updated: Aug 15

Padel is the word on every sport lover’s lips-and if you haven’t heard it yet, you will soon. This fast-paced, doubles-friendly racquet sport is sweeping through Bengaluru, blending the best of tennis and squash with a social vibe that’s made for the city’s buzzing communities.

At Racquetly, we’re not just witnessing the rise of padel-we’re building the courts and culture that are fueling it.



What Is Padel?

Think tennis meets squash, but on a smaller, enclosed court. Padel is typically played in doubles, and it’s known for its long rallies, strategic play, and addictive rhythm.

Unlike tennis, padel requires less power and more positioning, making it easy to pick up and hard to put down. You don’t need to be a pro athlete-just grab a friend (or three), and you’re good to go.



Why Padel Is Booming in Bengaluru

The city’s always had a thing for racquet sports-badminton, tennis, table tennis, you name it. But padel is different. It hits that sweet spot between fun and fitness. And in a city that thrives on social activity and wellness, it’s no wonder padel is gaining serious ground.

Here’s why Bengaluru is falling for padel:

  • Easy to learn, fun to master

  • Less physically demanding than tennis-great for all ages

  • Social by design-always played in doubles

  • Great cardio without the burnout

And let’s be honest: we all want something new to try. Padel delivers exactly that.
