Founded last year in 2024
by Karan Singh Chettri (Founder & CEO) and Mandeep Malhotra (Co-Founder
& Director), IAMGAME emerged with a shared belief in the transformative power of sports and the
need for a platform that could bridge the longstanding gaps in India’s sports
infrastructure. The inaugural edition sparked conversations that reshaped
India’s sports landscape, and now, the second edition returns with greater
scale and sharper focus with a mission to amplify impact, drive meaningful
partnership and investments, redefine the business of sports, and create a
nurturing environment for the sports community to connect and collaborate
eventually leading to the development of the sector from the grassroot level.
“IAMGAME is not just another
convention; it is a movement to bring together the sports community to build a
sustainable and supportive sports ecosystem in India. Sports today is not just
a game; it is a billion dollar industry and with India's sports business
expected to reach $100 billion by 2027, we aim to create a dynamic and
interconnected network that can support individuals at every level of their
sporting journey and drive India’s sports ecosystem toward global excellence.”
said Karan Singh Chettri, Founder & CEO, IAMGAME. “Our
initiatives align with the Government's vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, and the
multifaceted role of sports as an economic catalyst in India's journey toward
becoming a developed nation cannot be overlooked”.
“We are thrilled to announce
the second edition IAMGAME Sports Conclave 2025. This year is going to be
bigger, bolder, and more transformative than last year. Legendary sportsmen,
game-changing investors, industry titans, and forward-thinking executives will
come together to open up new doors and boost India's sports economy. By uniting
national, international and regional sports federations, franchise owners,
broadcasters, stadium managers, event management firms, and other sports-loving
professionals, we aim to foster collaboration and innovation. We are certain
that by utilising the combined knowledge and enthusiasm of our community, we
can have a great impact and carve the path for a better future in Indian
sports.” added Mandeep Malhotra, Co-Founder & Director, IAMGAME.
