At the end of June, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) in partnership with the Reliance Foundation, formally announced the creation of the first-ever India House at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. बहुत ही रोमांचक!
What We Know: Location
India House will be located in Parc de la Villette, otherwise known as the Park of Nations, in the "North East" cluster of Paris 2024 Hospitality Houses.
It appears that India House won't be taking over an existing venue in Parc de la Villette, but rather building a pop-up experience. Fans will be able to locate it in proximity to a few other well-known Hospitality Houses:
to the north of Club France at Grande Halle de la Villette, across the canal
to the west of Czech House at Cabaret Sauvetage
to the south of Canada Olympic House at La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie
to the east of Slovak House at Ventrus avec Vue

As noted in the press release, India House will open its doors to athletes, dignitaries and sports enthusiasts from around the world. More:
"It is with immense joy that [we are] thrilled to announce the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympic Games – a space where we will honour our athletes, celebrate our wins, share our stories, and welcome the world to India.”
As of now, we do not believe fans will be require tickets to enter India House.
What We Know: It's a Showcase of India
2024 will mark 100 years since India first participated in the Olympic Games, and India House is intended to celebrate its rich culture and sporting history. On offer:
