From Guwahati to Jaipur: A Logistics Playbook by Coraaj for Rajasthan Royals

In the dynamic world of T20 cricket, performance is shaped not only on the field but also behind the scenes. The Rajasthan Royals (RR), one of the most strategic franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL), made headlines in the 2025 season with their bold two-city home strategy. Splitting their home games between Guwahati and Jaipur, the Royals aimed to expand their footprint across India, particularly in the cricket-hungry Northeast.

But such an ambitious move brought with it significant logistical hurdles, from back-to-back matchday transitions to high-profile investor engagement events. That’s where Coraaj, the Royals’ trusted travel management partner, delivered a winning hand.

 

🛫Seamless City Transitions in a Jam-Packed Calendar

During IPL 2025, the Royals played their first three home matches at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati before returning to their primary base at the iconic Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. This initiative wasn’t just about expanding their fan base—it was a strategic move to tap into a growing market and reward loyal supporters in Assam and nearby regions.

However, moving an entire IPL franchise complete with players, coaching staff, support teams, and equipment is no small feat. Coraaj ensured that the transition between cities was smooth, secure, and punctual. From managing flight charters amid a busy airspace to securing accommodations for a large contingent during peak tourism season, the company handled every detail with precision.

🏨High-Stakes Events Beyond the Pitch

The Royals’ off-field commitments were equally demanding. Two major investor engagement events were held on May 1 and May 4 in Jaipur and Kolkata, timed to coincide with key home matches. These events brought together franchise stakeholders, board members, and potential investors—moments crucial for building long-term relationships and attracting future funding.

Coraaj’s team worked round-the-clock to manage end-to-end travel logistics for all attendees. This included VIP hospitality arrangements, last-minute travel alterations, and discreet, secure transportation—ensuring that every stakeholder received top-tier service in line with the Royals’ brand standards.

⚙️Precision Under Pressure

What set Coraaj apart was its ability to handle the unexpected. In IPL, where schedules can change rapidly due to weather, player injuries, or league directives, adaptability is key. Coraaj’s responsiveness—especially in handling last-minute flight changes and complex travel itineraries—ensured minimal disruption to the Royals’ preparation and performance.

Their reputation for zero-disruption execution in high-stakes environments has made them an emerging force in the sports travel management sector.
