This partnership aligns with Coca-Cola India's #SheTheDifference campaign, an initiative to celebrate, uplift, and support women throughout the value chain. As part of this partnership, Coca-Cola India is committed to empowering women athletes, to bring about a positive change in the sports and gender equality landscape. 

"I feel honoured to be associated with such a brand like Coca-Cola India. They were the first ones to support our cause, and their contribution has been instrumental in creating a world-class training facility in India at the Anju Bobby High Performance Center, Bengaluru. Today, we have some top-quality track and field equipment, some of the quality gym equipment, and our athletes here are focused on making the most of these facilities to help India win its Olympic medal. Personally, as well, I feel if I could win India's first World Championships medal, it's my duty to share my knowledge and experience with these young women, thereby contributing to India's success," said Anju.
