"I am a huge admirer of football," said CP Gurnani, Managing Director and CEO of Tech Mahindra. "The Jags embody the top three ingredients of success - strategic thinking, immaculate execution and most importantly seamless collaboration.

Tech Mahindra's connection with the Jacksonville community is already deep with HCI Group. Our multiyear partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars will enable us to create many new opportunities in the U.S. I am excited and ready to chant DUUUVAL."

"The Jaguars' organization is powered by innovation," said Jaguars President Mark Lamping. "This strategic partnership with Tech Mahindra will fuel that pursuit with a data-driven and technologically advanced approach to a variety of challenges that face a growing NFL franchise.
