Puneri Paltan is a professional kabaddi team that represents the city of Pune, Maharashtra in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team, coached by Ashok Shinde, plays at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex. In the 10th season of the Pro Kabaddi League, they won their first ever trophy after beating Haryana Steelers in the Final and are defending champions of the league. They won the Sport Franchise of the year award at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Sports Business Awards ceremony which held at New Delhi in October 2024.^[1]

The Pro Kabaddi League's first season was in 2014, with eight teams including Paltan. Four teams were added for the league's fifth season, bringing the total to 12.

The logo features a lion, representing the team's mascot, in a saffron hue—a color deeply rooted in Maharashtrian culture.

Puneri Paltan's current team colors are orange and vermilion, traditional colors in Maratha culture. Though the logo was changed in Season VII, its colours remained the same.

Puneri Paltan's former logo had Dhal (shield) & two talwars behind it. An illustration of a side-faced lionhead was also present in that logo. There was a Chandrakor on the 'i' of the word 'puneri'. The logo had orange and silver colours.

The current logo was introduced in Season VII. The new logo has a front-facing lion-head illustration. The lion has a white Chandrakor Tilak on its forehead. The Lion gives a sense of dominance, power, & strength.
