India's Paralympic and adaptive athletes have delivered historic international medal tallies across para-athletics, para-badminton, para-archery, para-shooting, para-swimming, and para-table tennis. Yet grassroots para-athletes still face steep equipment and travel costs at the district and state level.

KIBI Sports is a sports business from India with two legs: sports equipment from 257+ brand partners sold through our own ecommerce and international B2B exports, and a sports platform used by athletes, academies and institutions.

Three Channels of Support for Indian Para-Athletes

  1. Auditable Schedule VII (vii) Paralympic CSR (KIBI CSR): Corporate CSR committees fund verified para-athlete cohorts, adaptive training equipment, and state para-championships with HSN-coded GST invoicing (GSTIN: 29AAICK3153F1ZI).
  2. AI-Matched Brand Sponsorships (AI Brand Matchmaker): Include verified para-athletes in national brand storytelling and performance campaigns.
  3. Zero-Commission KYC Crowdfunding (Athlete Crowdfunding): 0% platform fee campaigns for competition prosthetics, racing wheelchairs, bows, and international tournament travel.
