A streetwear brand built in Chicago, bringing a team together to compete in the Elite Division of the Chicago Indo-Pak National Basketball Tournament — and to build something lasting on and off the court.
Thank you for taking the time to consider sponsoring Team Naujawan™. Our names are Sunny Midha and Nish Arora — we are both co-founders of Naujawan™, a streetwear brand built in Chicago which embodies the youthful mindset.
This summer, we have brought together a team competing in the Elite Division of the Chicago Indo-Pak National Basketball Tournament at Supreme Courts in Aurora, from July 31 to August 2. Our goal is to win the championship and use that platform to market our sponsors and our clothing brand.
Naujawan™ was built around the idea that your roots let you connect with others, not separate you from everyone else. That same mindset is what’s bringing us onto the court this year. We’re new to this stage and still building, looking to grow our support for all cultures, starting with our own.
We’re not trying to fit into something that already exists or only win this championship. We want to build our own long-lasting impression in the community, on and off the court. We’d love to have you as a part of the family.
Sincerely,
Sunny Midha & Nish Arora
Running since 1989, 2026 marks the tournament’s 37th year. It’s part of a wider network of Indo-Pak basketball tournaments held across the United States and Canada, all built around bringing the South Asian community together through the game — and Chicago’s is one of the longest running and most established of them.
This year’s attendance is expected at 5,000+ people. The Elite Division is the top competitive bracket, drawing fierce competition from serious, established teams across North America — past finals have featured teams from as far as Winnipeg facing off against Chicago’s top squads.
A four-court facility with the same hardwood flooring used on roughly 90% of NBA courts and by programs like Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Indiana.
The same venue regularly hosts events for Under Armour, USA Hoops, and Jr. NBA, drawing media coverage from outlets like Bleacher Report, Brown Ballers, and Complex.
Where you come from is a connection, not a divide. We play to represent the culture and grow our support for all of it.
A diverse, award-winning squad of 15 flying in from across North America to compete as one unit.
Not just a championship run — a long-lasting impression in the community, on and off the court.
