Turning sport's next decade of growth into structured value.

SportIQ Ventures advises and builds alongside sports federations, leagues, franchises, media and technology companies, investors and governments — from strategic sale and transaction advisory through to the platforms, partnerships and policy that come after.

Practice areas

Six ways we work with sport.

Each mandate draws on the same underlying discipline — strategy grounded in how sport actually generates and protects value — applied to a different counterparty.

Business Strategy, M&A & Transaction Advisory

Growth strategy, asset sales and joint-venture advisory in India and internationally — sell-side mandates built to secure the best terms and highest achievable valuation, including for media, content and data businesses, from valuation framing and buyer engagement through to post-transaction execution.

Sports Tech, Media & Product Growth

Consultancy for sports-technology, media and product companies — growth, content operations, product conception, funding-proposal evaluation and go-to-market.

Sports Entrepreneurship & Innovation

A platform for sports entrepreneurs — market-penetration advice, investor-pitch readiness, and access to India's research and incubator ecosystem.

Capital Advisory — VCs, PE & Consultancies

Pipeline-building, investment-proposal evaluation and strategic partnerships for sports-focused venture, private-equity and management-consulting firms.

Institutions, Federations & Corporations

Platform build-out, IP and product development, performance-testing centres, data analytics and fan-engagement delivery for sporting bodies and corporates.

Government & Public Sports Policy

Strategic advisory for national and state sports policy, Olympic-excellence programmes, sports-city positioning and industry-academia research hubs.

How we work

Conceive. Configure. Connect. Drive.

Conceive

Frame the opportunity in terms a buyer, investor or ministry will actually act on.

Configure

Structure the deal, platform or programme so the value survives execution.

Connect

Bring the right counterparties, partners and institutions to the table.

Drive

Stay through delivery — not just to signing, but to the growth that follows.

Leadership

Built on two decades inside global cricket and sports media.

Ramesh Kumar

Founder, SportIQ Ventures

Ramesh has spent his career building and scaling some of cricket's most important digital and media platforms, with senior leadership roles across Wisden, Cricinfo and ESPN — including ESPN Digital International and ESPN India — and a sports technology role at the IIT Madras Center of Excellence in Sports Science and Analytics.

That background now sits behind SportIQ Ventures: a firm built to carry sports organisations from strategy through transaction into the platforms, partnerships and policy that determine whether growth actually holds.
