We were honoured to host Aditi Mutatkar at Kreedangan this year, who said, "Technology alone cannot drive change—it needs education and awareness to make a real impact. At the grassroots level, coaches and athletes often resist innovation because they don’t understand its purpose or relevance. To bridge this gap, we must focus on creating tools that are culturally relevant and accessible in the languages they understand. Only by prioritizing people and their unique contexts can we ensure that technology empowers rather than alienates. True transformation begins with education, inclusion, and understanding." – Aditi Mutatkar -- At Kreedangan, we are creating a space where silos are broken and conversations lead to actionable strategies. By addressing overlooked challenges like fragmented data, limited accessibility, and grassroots education we are laying the groundwork for transformation. These discussions go beyond elite sports, targeting the very foundations that empower communities, coaches, and athletes alike. The impact of this quiet, consistent effort will resonate across India’s sports ecosystem, driving equity, innovation and excellence for years to come.

Kreedangan, as a sports policy advocacy platform, has been engineered to unite diverse voices and wide horizoned perspectives from stakeholders who draw upon their experience to craft the deliberations in the 5 hours of intense discussions. We are honoured that Neel Shah found the format to be engaging and the fact that each conversation could be tied back to the central themes to build upon. We look forward to curating the discussions with equal thought and rigour to build the #indiansports thought leadership. Thank you once again Neel!

Kreedangan is a collaborative discussion of different stakeholders in the sports ecosystem, who have a body of work to their credit. This time, we made it slightly different. We curated a lesser number of participants and freed up the time for deeper discussion. What, we all agreed upon was, "Data is the backbone of modern sports. It determines how athletes train, how federations allocate resources, how fans engage with their favorite teams, and how policymakers shape the future of sports. Without a robust data foundation, we are leaving our athletes, our organizations, and our nation at a competitive disadvantage. An AI-first nation is not just ahead of the curve—it is the curve." This a just an initial glimpse into the conversive dialogue between all of us, Col. Devraj Gill, Dr. Ashish Karnavat, Darsshan Wagh, Dr. Tejal Kanwar, Mitesh Kadvani, Neel Shah, Vaidehi Vinayak Vaidya, Madhurima Maniyara, Arup Soans, Uddhav Welinkar, Siddharth Deshmukh, Aditi Mutatkar & Edward Francis Paul. A larger photo set would follow briefly along with learnings.

Championing & being bullish about organising the #olympics in India
Gold Medallist International Athlete | Changemaker | Keynote Speaker | Sports Ecosystem Engineer | A Sigma, Not An Alpha
Let's jump to it, why is the discussion of organising Olympics, pivotal to the story of Indian sports? Its not because #olympics has a nice ring to it but because it could be the ramp that takes #india forward in atleast 15 sectors & make it a truly global super-power & thats not even scratching the surface of our capabilities!

#nationalstartupday2024 Though it was celebrated yesterday, I felt I could write a little more freely today, after the flurry of startup posts has ebbed. Eighteen years back, as an ambitious entrepreneur, I embarked on a journey, launching a business that would stand the test of time and it did. Eighteen years later, with a wealth of experience and an unfulfilled desire to change the sports industry not just in one sphere but every experience within it, I made the unthinkable decision to reinvent not just myself but my approach in its entirety. This marked the birth of SporTech Innovation Lab Pvt Ltd that fused the wisdom of 18 years in the industry with the dynamism and agility of a new startup. I'm glad that Pinaze S Mitra (PhD) supported me through my thick & thin in my journey as my friend, my confidant, my life partner and my north star. From its inception, SporTech Innovation Lab Pvt Ltd was conceived with the vision of changing and rewiring the sports industry. It has always been more than just an entrepreneurial leap; it represents a fusion of deep industry insights with a new, vibrant perspective. With Edward Francis Paul & Mitesh Kadvani teaming up with us, our collective experience across various business sectors has equipped us with an unparalleled depth of understanding, which we bring to this endeavor. Every effort has taken a pause & thought, leveraging the tenacity and resilience cultivated over years of overcoming challenges and achieving successes. Our #startup is in building an organization rooted in strong values and fundamentals. There our so many wellwishers that have connected with us at the core, leaders who have motivated us. Col. Lalit Rai, Dr. Prithvish Nag, Dr. ( h.c.)JP Rao, Hemant Dua, Neel Shah, Mahesh Ranka, jignasu mehta, Sanjana Kiran, Pankaj Markandey, Gagan Narang, Surinder Chawla, Cyrus Poncha, R.Vidya Praveena Varghese, Aniruddha Atul Bhagwat, Prashant Joglekar, Paul R. to name a few. Blending seasoned experience and startup innovation is not just about being at the forefront of change in the sports industry, it's about building more than just products. We're engineering the ecosystem where we build stronger values thus societal growth and humanity are uplifted. Our organization effortlessly balances inclusivity, cooperation and mutual development while tackling fiscal & stature growth. I found my sounding board in Amit Gupta over a singularly interesting phone call. Our bond/friendship/mentor-mentee relationship has built over common philosophies, gratitude & sharing #stevejobs anecdotes, Naval Ravikant quotes and building towards raising humanity. We understand that our success is intertwined with the upliftment of the community and the ecosystem at large. We are surefooted in our decisions, not tentative and we are not here to play the game; we are here to change it, to build a legacy that outlasts expectations and fosters a more collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
