Superadmin
Sportstech startup SportVot has raised ₹32.7 Cr (about $3.8 Mn) in a fresh funding round led by IAN Alpha Fund, with participation from Anicut Capital, Lets Venture, Capital A, Succeed Innovation, among others.
The startup plans to use the capital to expand its international presence and strengthen its AI-powered production and analytics capabilities.
A portion of the capital will go towards scaling its white-label OTT solutions for sports bodies and leagues in India as well as global markets.
Founded in 2019 by Siddhant Agarwal, Shubhangi Gupta, and Yash Bhagwatkar, SportVot is a sports technology startup that helps bring professional-style broadcasting to grassroots and local sports.
The platform offers AI-powered production, data, and streaming solutions across the entire broadcast process.
Using smartphones and cameras, SportVot allows organisers to live stream matches with features such as TV-style graphics, instant replays, multilingual commentary, and automated highlights. It also helps manage fixtures, scores, and player profiles, making it easier for scouts and fans to discover emerging talent.
The platform covers sports such as cricket, football, kabaddi, basketball, badminton, and volleyball, while also helping local leagues earn through in-stream advertisements and pay-per-view options.
SportVot said it has streamed more than 5 Lakh matches across over 30 countries to date and reaches an audience of more than 10 Cr viewers.
“We plan to use these funds to scale our offerings in international markets, with some initial success coming our way in Australia & Africa. The plan is to get into European, West Asian, and American markets. Our vision is to democratise access to technology and video creation for the 99% of sports tournaments & leagues that go unnoticed,” cofounder & CEO Agarwal said.
SportVot competes with the likes of CricHeroes, FanCode, and Stupa Sports Analytics, among others.
The funding comes at a time when startups are disrupting the sports sector by offering smart stadium seating, digital ticketing, real-time analytics, and enhanced safety solutions, amid rising demand for tech-led training, digital fitness, and interactive sports platforms in India.
At the heart of this lies India’s sports tech market, which is projected to surpass the $3.5 Bn mark by 2027, driven by more than 1,800 startups operating in high-growth segments such as smart venues, fan engagement, and AI-driven personalisation.
