Under Section 135 and Schedule VII (vii) of India's Companies Act, 2013, training to promote rural sports, nationally recognised sports, Paralympic sports, and Olympic sports is a high-visibility statutory CSR avenue — yet CFOs, Company Secretaries, and CSR Heads frequently hesitate to scale sports CSR due to audit and verification gaps.

KIBI Sports (/csr) solves this by providing an end-to-end digital operating layer for corporate sports CSR across 90,000+ athletes verified through sports organisations, 100+ institutions, and 257+ brand partners.

The 3 Audit Risks in Traditional Sports CSR (and How KIBI Eliminates Them)

  1. Unverified Beneficiary Headcounts: Paper attendance sheets from a rural tournament or coaching camp cannot prove to statutory auditors how many unique boys, girls, or para-athletes actually participated.
    • KIBI Solution: Every beneficiary is onboarded with phone-OTP and document verification onto a Verified Athlete Passport (/athletes) with QR session/event check-in.
  2. Fragmented Equipment Procurement: Buying cricket mats, footballs, badminton racquets, athletics gear, and custom jerseys from 10 unverified local traders creates compliance headaches for corporate procurement teams.
    • KIBI Solution: Consolidate multi-sport kits from 257+ brand partners (shop.kibisports.com) under a single HSN 9506 GST tax invoice (CIN: U92490UP2020PTC134722, GSTIN: 29AAICK3153F1ZI, ISO 9001:2015).
  3. No Longitudinal Outcome Tracking: Handing over sports kits once a year without tracking coaching attendance or competition outcomes produces weak CSR impact reports.
    • KIBI Solution: Partner schools and district academies run on the 116-page KIBI Admin Portal (/institutions), logging batch attendance, skill rubrics, and live tournament results year-round.
