The Tata Group took over from Chinese mobile manufacturer Vivo back in 2022 due to political tensions at the time. Vivo’s sponsorship right had been paused back in 2020 when India faced cross-border tensions with China. Dream XI had taken over from Vivo for the two-year period and the Tata Group took over from there.
