SUN is a leading investment group based primarily in India and Russia. Its principal shareholders are members of the Khemka family, who have been in business in India and abroad for more than a hundred years in a variety of sectors, including mining, oil and gas, real estate, infrastructure, technology, and investment/fund management. In addition to this, the Khemka Family has a number of other philanthropic interests. These initiatives, being carried out by the Khemka Family Foundations, range across a wide spread of sectors, including Children and Youth Issues, Education, Healthcare, Livelihoods, Urban Community Development, Sustainable Rural Development, Agribusiness, Micro-finance, Heritage Conservation, Culture and the Arts and the Environment - especially climate change mitigation.
SUN Group is excited to promote chess, which is a sport that binds many countries of the world, but especially Russia and India. SUN Group believes that other chess-playing countries would benefit by learning from Russia’s strong traditions in chess coaching, and eventually benefit the sport all over the world. It is now testing this concept in India, starting by extending sponsorship to three young and very talented chess players: SUN Group believes that if players like these are provided the opportunity to access world-class coaching and play against the best players in the world, they may reach the very top of the chess world. This will require many years of sustained effort from the players, their coaches, their family, and their sponsor; and SUN is committed to long-term support for each player they sponsor. In times to come we are certain that we will be able to sponsor more young talents who will be able to make their presence felt in the global ranks.
