#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.
