Rugby Holds a Special Place in the History of Capgemini India

Rugby holds a special place in the history of Capgemini.

Our founder Serge Kampf was passionate about the sport and all that it represented – and indeed, ever since the Group’s creation, rugby has been in our DNA.

The sport has strongly influenced our culture and our values, with particular mention for team spirit and fun. And, with its diverse and continuously growing global fan-base, rugby is fully aligned to Capgemini’s belief in the role that diversity plays in developing innovative solutions, and creating value.

Capgemini is a Principal Partner of Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, and a Global Partner of Women’s Rugby.

“Rugby is a team sport in which you can’t accomplish anything without the rest of your teammates.”

Serge Kampf, founder of Capgemini
