Hudle has launched Hudle Vision, an AI-powered court experience that uses on-court cameras and automated analysis to provide recreational padel players with performance data and highlight reels. According to the company, the system tracks ball speed, court heatmaps, shot distribution, and rally participation, allowing users to access these insights via the Hudle app.
AI Integration in Indian Padel Growth
The rollout of Hudle Vision coincides with a projected surge in the Indian padel market. A report published by Hudle and CAA Portas, the India Padel Report 2026, estimates the market could grow from US$30 million currently to US$300 million by 2036.
Suhail Narain, Co-Founder and CEO of Hudle, stated that the goal is to provide everyday players with the same data and analysis typically reserved for professional sports. Narain noted that while players already track metrics like sleep and workouts, they previously left the padel court with only a memory.
Did you know? Hudle used AI to create the actual campaign film for the launch, mirroring the technology used in the product to show a player’s journey from booking a game to receiving automated highlights.
Expanding Automated Analytics to Other Racket Sports
Hudle Vision is currently operational on padel courts in Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, and Goa. The company has confirmed plans to expand the service to additional cities.
The technology is not limited to padel. Hudle intends to bring AI-powered highlights and performance insights to pickleball and badminton players in the coming months. This move signals a shift toward making recreational racket sports more connected and technology-led across urban centers in India.
