"An absolute delight to meet young chess prodigy and #IOCian, R Praggnanandhaa, flanked by the pillars of his success - his mother, Nagalakshmi, and father, Rameshbabu, on this #IndianOilDay. Pragg’s meteoric rise in the world of #Chess mirrors the true IOCian spirit. At just 18 years of age, he has made his mark as the third youngest ever for the Candidates 2024, and secured his spot among the elite eight in global chess. His riveting clash with the legend Magnus Carlsen in the FIDE World Cup speaks volumes of his audacity and determination. Every calculated move, every impressive stride, mirrors not just his formidable spirit and #passion but also the unyielding support of Nagalakshmi and the silent resilience of Rameshbabu. Their combined strength, sacrifices, and hopes are emblematic of the unspoken heroes behind our #champions. IndianOil takes immense pride in recognising and nurturing prodigious talents like Praggnanandhaa R. . We're committed to fuelling their dreams, providing the platform, and cheering from the sidelines. Pragg, as you continue your ascent, know that an entire family at IndianOil, and indeed a nation, is rooting for you. May your future be as bright as your talent." - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil #IndianOilSportStars #FuellingDreams #ChessProdigy #IOCian #IndianOilDay #Chess #passion #champions #IndianOilSportStars #FuellingDreams #ChessProdigy
