Hyderabad | July 28, 2025 : Sports Start up of the year awarded Cricstudio, rapidly expanding exclusive
cricket multi brand retail chain has today unveiled its 15th global store,
located in the cricket-loving city of Hyderabad. The latest outlet at Banjara
Hills, heart of Hyderabad marks another major step in Cricstudio’s mission to
bring authentic, professional-grade cricket retail experiences closer to
players across the world.
What sets the Hyderabad
store apart is that it is run by three topmost professional cricketers from
Hyderabad. This move reflects Cricstudio’s unique approach to retail
expansion—empowering experienced players to lead the stores, ensuring that
customers engage with those who truly understand the game.
“We’re proud to bring our
cricket journey full circle by running a store that supports the next
generation of players,” said Mr. Vikas Reddy, Hyderabad Cricstudio. “With
Cricstudio, we’re not just selling equipment—we’re sharing our experience,
insights, and passion with every aspiring cricketer,” said Mr. Abhirath Reddy.
As professional cricketers,
we’ve always dreamt of creating something meaningful for the cricketing
community in our city. “With Cricstudio, we’ve found the perfect platform that
blends our passion for the game with an entrepreneurial opportunity,” said Mr.
Nitesh Reddy, Partner Hyderabad Studio. This store is more than a business—it’s
a space where players can walk in, talk cricket, get honest advice, and choose
gear that’s truly right for them. We’re excited to help elevate cricket retail
experiences in Hyderabad and beyond.”

Located in Green Valley,
Banjara Hills, the Hyderabad outlet offers a premium in-store experience,
showcasing equipment from top global brands—SG, SS, MRF, Kookaburra,
Gray-Nicolls—alongside Cricstudio’s in-house “Swar” (Sword & Armour) line.
Customers also benefit from personalized bat fitting, live testing zones, and
expert advisory from those who’ve played the game professionally.
Cricstudio’s franchise
model, which emphasizes onboarding professional cricketers and seasoned players
as store partners, is a cornerstone of its brand philosophy and growth
strategy. Hyderabad is the latest example of this model in action, and similar
partnerships are being explored in other cricketing hubs across India and
abroad.
“Our belief is
simple—cricketers understand cricketers best,” said Himanshu Sisodia, Founder
Cricstudio. “By empowering players to lead our stores, we create a customer
experience that’s authentic, credible, and passionate.”
“Innovations Venture Studio
is proud to support a venture like Cricstudio that champions grassroots
entrepreneurship while scaling globally,” added Manish Khurana, Founder of
Innovations Venture Studio. “Their franchise-first, cricketer-led model is not just
scalable, it’s deeply meaningful.”

Cricstudio now operates in 15 locations, including Ahmedabad, Surat, Indore,
Meerut, Jaipur, London, Toronto, Melbourne, and Trinidad—cementing its position
as one of the most trusted cricket experience brands worldwide.
