Chennai: Chennaiyin FC have announced a new partnership with Simple Energy, an Indian-origin electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, who join the Marina Machans as the club’s Official Mobility Partner for the Indian Super League 2026 season.
Under the agreement, Simple Energy will receive prominent brand integration across Chennaiyin FC’s match and training ecosystem, including logo placement on the back of the team’s match and training shorts. The brand will also feature during LIVE home fixtures through LED perimeter boards and select in-stadia assets at the Marina Arena, ensuring sustained visibility throughout the season.
The association extends beyond on-ground branding, with digital integrations across the club’s official platforms, access to select brand assets, and player interaction opportunities designed to deepen engagement with fans.
Speaking on the partnership, Chennaiyin FC’s COO Akhil Prakash said, “We’re pleased to welcome Simple Energy as our Official Mobility Partner. As a future-focused brand from India, Simple Energy aligns strongly with Chennaiyin FC’s values of performance, innovation, and responsibility. This partnership allows us to strengthen our sustainability narrative while engaging young, urban fans across Tamil Nadu in meaningful ways—both on and off the pitch.”
The collaboration brings together two youth-oriented, forward-looking brands operating in complementary spaces. Chennaiyin FC, a longstanding presence in the Indian football landscape with a strong regional following, aligns with a company positioned at the forefront of sustainable mobility. Simple Energy’s performance-driven electric scooters — including the Simple One and Simple OneS — reflect a broader push towards innovation-led, high-performance solutions tailored for a new generation of riders.
Commenting on the occasion, Suhas Rajkumar, Founder and CEO, Simple Energy, stated, “Chennaiyin FC stands for ambition and a strong connection with its community—values that mirror how we build at Simple Energy. Mobility, like football, is driven by momentum and belief. This partnership reflects our commitment to Tamil Nadu and to empowering fans and riders with performance-driven technology built for real-world India. Together with Chennaiyin FC, we want the next generation to Ride Untamed—on the pitch, on the road, and beyond.”
Simple Energy opened its Chennai store in 2025 and currently operates 15 stores across Tamil Nadu, underscoring its growing presence in the state. For Simple Energy, the partnership provides access to a deeply engaged football audience, while for Chennaiyin FC, it strengthens the club’s association with forward-looking partners committed to sustainability, innovation and long-term community impact.
The partnership will be visible throughout the ISL 2026 campaign, beginning with Chennaiyin FC’s upcoming fixtures, as both organisations look to drive performance on the pitch and beyond.
