Gliderz | Make in India paddles from its own factory in Pune

Gliderzis a paddle brand from Gliderz Sports Equipments Private Limited in Pune, Maharashtra. Its official site says “100% of its paddles on Indian soil”, meaning everything is made domestically.

Official registrations up front

It states its startup recognition from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and its “Make in India” registration, and calls itself “India’s first AIPA-approved pickleball manufacturer”. AIPA (All India Pickleball Association), founded in 2008, is the older body, but the one the government recognised as the national federation is a different organisation, IPA, and the two remain in dispute (as of April 2026). Because whose approval it is changes what it means, check the organiser if you plan to use it in a tournament.

Product line and prices

Paddles come in three series: Kore, Velocity and Hybrid. It makes its own balls too. Prices start from “Starting Price ₹1,350 / paddle”. Custom and batch production for clubs and companies is taken over WhatsApp, so the business leans more B2B than direct-to-consumer.
