Best Performance of the Season – IQVIA at Mixed Corporate Championship | Badiwars 4.0

Mixed Corporate Championship – Badiwars 4.0 (Tournament 5)

📍 Kreeda | June 28

If one tournament defined IQVIA’s 2025 season, it was the Mixed Corporate Championship.

Three podium finishes.

One historic title.

And the strongest collective showing of the year.

This wasn’t just a good outing.

It was the best performance of the season.

🏆 MEN’S SINGLES – Champion

Shaik Shafi

This was the breakthrough.

After receiving a Round of 32 bye, Shafi’s run was a display of maturity under pressure:

R16: def Hiteshwar Reddy (Healthworksai) – 21-12, 21-10

QF: def Guru Prasath M (Lowe’s) – 21-8, 16-21, 21-12

SF: def Sharath Prakash (ANZ) – 16-21, 21-9, 21-9

Final: def Vivek Kumar (Brigade Group) – 21-12, 21-13

Two three-set comebacks.

Flawless final.

Complete control when it mattered most.

This wasn’t luck. It was composure, fitness, and championship temperament.

And it delivered IQVIA’s first title of the season.

🥈 MEN’S DOUBLES – Runner-Up

Shaik Shafi & Bharadwaj Chowdari

The top-seeded pair justified their billing.

QF: def Imayavaramban & Maanav Dhamija – 21-5, 21-15

SF: def Nitendra Dhaker & Rishabh Kumar Gupta – 21-18, 21-13

Final: Lost to Hareen Talluri & Amarnath Bansethi – 21-18, 18-21, 21-19

The final was a thriller — decided by the narrowest of margins.

They pushed the eventual champions to three games and were a handful of points away from a second gold.

Power. Rotation. Tactical awareness.

A partnership that proved it can dominate the circuit.

🥉 35+ MEN’S DOUBLES – Semifinalists

Bharadwaj Chowdari & Shivakiran Gujjar

Consistency at the senior level.

Entered as second seeds

Reached semifinals

Narrow three-game loss to Nikhil Jhamb & Vinoth Chinnathambi – 19-21, 21-16, 21-19

Another match that went down to the wire.

Even in defeat, they showed resilience and depth — reinforcing IQVIA’s strength across age categories.
