BCCI Corporate Trophy

The corporate trophy acted as a high-profile starter to the Indian domestic cricket season. The BCCI's prime objective was to promote employment opportunities for domestic cricketers in India's corporate houses.{{cite web |title=Star-studded welcome for Corporate Trophy |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/star-studded-welcome-for-corporate-trophy-422814 |website=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=11 October 2024 |date=31 August 2009}} The board invited 12 corporate teams to take part which involved some of India's top cricketers.

The winners collected {{INR}} 10 million ({{USD}}204,272) while the runners-up received {{INR}} 5 million ({{USD}}102,109) however, unlike the Indian Premier League (IPL) no foreign players took part.

The tournament initially involved players formerly from the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Some of the ICL players said that after the announcement of the Corporate Trophy, they had received calls from their employers asking them to cut ties with the rebel league.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/422814.html |title=Star-studded welcome for Corporate Trophy.

The inaugural tournament was won by Air India Red after they beat Air India Blue by 93 runs in the final.

The last edition of the competition was in 2014, the BCCI cited the difficulty of scheduling it in a full cricket calendar as the reason future editions did not take place.{{cite news |last1=Pandey |first1=Devendra |title=Corporate Trophy struck off calendar for second consecutive year |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/corporate-trophy-struck-off-calendar/ |access-date=11 October 2024 |work=Indian Express |date=23 July 2015}}
