I am working with SportsUno to extend technological support to fitness instructors who are an integral part of the Sports & Fitness ecosystem. While all the other industries are using technology day in, day out to improve and scale-up their business, technology in sports is only being used at the top of the pyramid, i.e. at IPL, ISL, Pro-kabaddi leagues, etc. where there is big money. Whereas people & businesses sitting at the grass-root level – small academies, training centers, sports complexes, etc. are not even aware as to how to leverage technology to their area. The technological domain is very new to these sports business owners and SportsUno is here to help them get the best of it”

This would enable the company to build in new technology, affiliate to new clients and expand network within the cricket fraternity. During the lockdown, SportsUno developed an efficient in-house software for fitness centres, gyms & health instructors to conduct uninterrupted online training sessions for their customers.
