High return on investment in a sports venture made easier
The passion for football isn’t enough to run a profitable sports academy. There are multiple challenges ranging from limitations in operational expertise, access to scientific training curriculum, managing day to day activities, structured coach education program and player developmental pathway, thereby creating roadblocks to running a successful sports venture.
We are the only sports organization in India that has an end-to-end pathway for aspiring student-athletes and coaches. This approach is the culmination of building organizational knowledge over a period of 12 years spanning grassroots to professional sports. This 'eco-system' approach also sets us up well to become a very large company as we continue to build deep expertise across multiple domains.
