Gandhinagar, Gujarat : At the prestigious Vibrant
Gujarat Regional Conference, Champions Club, part of the
multi-sector global conglomerate Champions Group, announced two
major initiatives that promise to redefine India’s leisure and tourism
landscape — the launch of the India Beach Cities Development Fund
at GIFT City with an initial corpus of $100 million (₹880 crore), and a ₹250
crore world-class Beach Lagoon destination project in Gujarat.
A New Era of Urban Beach Living
The newly announced Beach Lagoon destination will bring
Gujarat its very own world-class beachfront experience, powered by Crystal
Lagoons® technology.
Spread across several acres, the project will feature sandy shores,
azure waters, adventure zones, waterfront villas, and immersive entertainment
spaces, setting a new benchmark for urban tourism and real estate development
in India.
“We are glad to launch this initiative alongside Hon. CM
Bhupendrabhai Patel,” said Ravikant Guduru, Director, Champions
Beach Clubs.
“Gujarat will soon witness multiple Beach Lagoon destinations in iconic
locations including the Statue of Unity, Rann of Kutch, Viramgam, Ahmedabad,
Dharoi, and Surat. Each development will become a landmark destination —
boosting tourism, creating jobs, and bringing world-class waterfront living to
India’s western corridor.”
These destinations, developed under the Champions Club
banner, will seamlessly integrate hospitality, retail, and leisure
infrastructure, promoting sustainable and tourism-driven growth across the
state.
$100 Million ‘India Beach Cities Development Fund’ Set Up at GIFT
City
At the event, Subhakar Rao Surapaneni, Chairman of
Champions Group and visionary behind the Beach Lagoon Cities initiative,
announced the creation of the India Beach Cities Development Fund
at GIFT City, Gujarat — a first-of-its-kind fund aimed at fueling
India’s transformation into a global destination for waterfront living.
“GIFT City is the perfect platform to anchor this fund and power
India’s next wave of iconic beach cities,” said Subhakar Rao.
“There is massive untapped demand for world-class lagoon destinations
powered by Crystal Lagoons®. This fund will help us launch and
scale these projects to billion-dollar potential — driving real estate’s
contribution to India’s $30 trillion economy vision under Viksit Bharat.
With real estate expected to exceed $6 trillion in value, India is poised to move
from #3 to #1 globally.”
Boost to Gujarat’s Real Estate and Tourism Momentum

Champions Club, remarked:
“This is a truly vibrant moment at Vibrant Gujarat — one that will
