A fresh chapter in community sports has begun in Brisbane with the launch of the Australia Telugu Badminton Club, bringing together enthusiasts from across the Telugu-speaking community. More than just a sports initiative, the club is a hub for fitness, friendship, and cultural connection.
Founded by Ram Junnuri, Sai Mallela, and Kishore Kambhampati, the club aims to foster a welcoming environment where players of all skill levels can participate. Whether stepping onto the court for the first time or refining advanced techniques, members will find a space that nurtures both athletic and social engagement.
“We are thrilled to offer a space where people can come together, stay active, and be a part of something that celebrates both our culture and our love for sports,” said the founders. The club’s vision extends beyond badminton, focusing on strengthening community ties and encouraging a healthier lifestyle through regular practice sessions, tournaments, and social events.
Designed as a non-profit initiative, the club is open to all ages, providing structured training programs that develop physical fitness, coordination, and team spirit. With an emphasis on inclusivity, the club welcomes beginners and seasoned players alike, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the game.
The launch signals a new opportunity for community members to connect, compete, and cultivate a shared love for badminton. Those interested can sign up through the club’s website or attend one of the upcoming sessions. As the club takes flight, its founders are confident that it will serve as a vibrant meeting ground for sport and camaraderie, where every match played strengthens bonds both on and off the court.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
