As a former five-sport national athlete in India, I experienced firsthand how much sporting talent is lost not on the field, but in the administrative gaps around the field — paper tournament sheets that vanish, unverified certificates, fragmented coaching discovery, and sponsorship budgets that never look beyond the top 150 metro celebrities.
When we incorporated KIBI Sports Private Limited on 16 September 2020 (CIN: U92490UP2020PTC134722, DPIIT: DIPP69448), our goal was to build the shared digital and commercial operating layer for Indian sport.
Two connected legs serving the entire ecosystem
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.
Four Structural Shifts We Write About and Build Every Week
- Turning Weekend Paper Tournaments into Permanent Career Passbooks (KIBI Institutions & For Athletes): Over 100+ institutions and 90,000+ athletes verified through sports organisations use KIBI to record digital registrations, QR check-in, live match scores on KIBI Live, and automated certificates — free for qualifying institutions until 31 March 2027.
- Closing the Section 135 Schedule VII (vii) Sports CSR Auditability Gap (KIBI CSR): Giving CFOs and CSR committees HSN-coded equipment traceability, verified institutional beneficiary rosters, and geo-tagged milestone proof.
- Repricing Regional Athletic Trust (AI Brand Matchmaker): Using rule filters, semantic vector embeddings, and LLM scoring to match brands with verified regional athletes across 20+ sports in under 60 seconds.
- Two-OTP Escrow for Coaching & Sports Physiotherapy (Pro Services): Protecting youth athletes, parents, and independent specialists with START and END session OTPs.
