How SportVot Is Transforming Local

In India, 99% of athletes play in the shadows. No replays. No stats. No recognition. Their talents vanish the moment the game ends, leaving nothing but the memory of the performance.

This absence isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s a barrier to progress. Sponsors can’t see them. Scouts can’t track them. Fans can’t celebrate them.

Founded in 2019 by childhood friends Sidhhant Agarwal, Shubhangi Gupta, and Yash Bhagwatkar, SportVot is flipping the sports ecosystem on its head. With mobile-friendly tech, remote production, and AI-powered cameras, SportVot is making broadcasting accessible to even the most remote fields.

Whether it’s a local kabaddi match or a district football league, SportVot is giving everyone a seat at the digital table.

Here’s how it works:

• Capture: Mobile, DSLR, or AI-powered cameras that fit into any budget.
• Cloud Studio: A remote production hub that adds score graphics, replays, and multi-camera angles.
• Distribution: Through SportVot’s OTT platform and social media, reaching fans far and wide.
• Data Layer: Verified stats, highlights, leaderboards, and profiles for each athlete.
• Monetization: From sponsor overlays to pay-per-view and custom federation portals.

With features like auto-highlights and real-time score widgets, SportVot is bridging the gap between amateur and professional sports, making every game feel like it’s being broadcasted live to a global audience.

Since its inception, SportVot has seen remarkable growth:

• 400,000+ games streamed across 24+ countries.
• 150,000+ athletes profiled.
• 100 million+ digital impressions in just the last 12 months.

With clients like All India Football Federation, Table Tennis Australia, and Mumbai Indians, SportVot has already built a network that stretches from India to Australia creating a global sports ecosystem from the ground up.

SportVot operates on a freemium model, making it easy for local organizers to get started, while also providing robust features for national federations and large sponsors. The revenue streams are diverse:

• SaaS subscriptions for event organizers.
• Production-as-a-service for individual events.
• Advertising and sponsorships with targeted inventory.
• Pay-per-view (PPV) and OTT revenue share for premium events.

This unique mix allows even small tournaments to take advantage of professional-grade production, while larger events can access deeper monetization tools, all while maintaining affordability and accessibility.

The next goal for SportVot is ambitious but entirely achievable. By 2027, the company plans to:

• Profile 1 million athletes.
• Stream 1% of all amateur sports broadcasts globally
• Advertising and sponsorships with targeted inventory.
• Expand to 50+ countries, working with local partners in each region.

Sidhhant Agarwal, the CEO, sums it up: “We’re not just streaming games. We’re creating the blueprint for how grassroots sports can be discovered, valued, and monetized.”

SportVot is proving that grassroots sports broadcasting isn’t just about cameras and stats; it’s about building trust, credibility, and community.

The company is quietly rewriting the playbook on how sports can be monetized and how athletes can be discovered.

In a country where passion for sports is sky-high but visibility is low, SportVot is providing a stage for the unsung heroes of India’s sporting world.
