The island is BACK 🏝️ Got inspired by all the incredible athletes on @amaznhq that I found my love for football again. I flew out to Malaysia to represent India on an international stage ❤️🇮🇳

Six years after I last played competitive football, this experience meant the world to me. An opportunity to connect with my heritage and live out my childhood dream of representing India in football. This was my first time ever playing in a 5v5 flag football tournament.

Together, we became the FIRST ever Indian team to reach the quarterfinals of an international flag football tournament… as a team that practiced together for less than a week. In that time, we connected across cultural lines, built lifelong friendships, and installed offensive/defensive schemes completely new to our players.

To be honest, we came into this tournament with an understanding that we were probably going to lose every game and that we would use it as a learning experience. But as each game went by, we realized we could not just compete, but defeat so many of these teams. We shocked ourselves and proved what is possible for Indian football in the future.

I played safety, QB, and WR and couldn’t have had more fun experiencing that adrenaline rush of the game again. Had the 3rd most INTs (5) in the tournament and the 14th highest overall stat ranking in the tournament.

Thankful for @m0ney_18 and @superss05 for making India football what it is and everyone on our team for making the experience in Malaysia what it was. Can’t wait to see it grow 🙏🏾

Dreams do come true. I know young Pranu would be so proud.

Building AMAZN HQ has been the most stressful, anxiety-inducing experience of my life. And honestly, it’s been so hard to find joy in the journey the past few years. But during 2026 AMAZN All-Star Weekend I was able to experience the beauty of the work for the first time in a very long time. So thank you to everyone who helped make that possible.

To @jlin7 and @patriciaylin, thank you for coming into our world and devoting your entire weekend to impacting the community. When I started this event in 2022, I imagined the day that Jeremy would be here alongside us living out the mission together. In year 5, that dream became a reality.

To @jomorcbal, thank you for being the rock behind this event and believing unwaveringly and unconditionally. To @camhamaguchi, @izzyvom and the entire @ocroyalsbasketball and FVHS basketball community, thank you for leading with such care and love and for being so willing to support this event. To Rich (@procademy_hoops), thank you for being an incredible big brother these past 5 years and for being one of the only two constants in this event across the years. The other constant being @chrstne_k, thank you for believing in the mission then and for still believing in it today. To @joeykrass, thank you for still being along the ride all these years later and for finding your calling as an MC lol To @matthew.huii, I cannot thank you enough for everything that you do for AMAZN HQ behind the scenes since its inception at the ramen spot in 2019. @anirudhm_, it’s been a honor having you carve out time all of these years. Wish you could’ve seen it this year.

Thank you to @taaforg for your long term belief in myself and the AMAZN HQ mission.

The amount of support and over the top effort from friends, friends of friends, media, sponsors, and so many others truly is what made this event possible. I appreciate all of you.

Oh, and thank you to the nearly 1000 people in the audience who made this event an absolute MOVIE 🎥

Year 5 of the Showcase. Year 7 of AMAZN HQ.

Keep going Pranu.
