IAMGAME 2025 will host compelling panels that explore public-private collaborations and government-led initiatives shaping India’s sports economy, the rising momentum of brand and corporate investments in the sector, the global rise of homegrown sports creating new business frontiers, the convergence of sports and technology fueling innovative revenue models, and the emerging trends set to redefine the future of India’s sports business.
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.
The debut edition in 2024 laid a strong foundation for India’s sports-business ecosystem with over 600+ delegates, 40+ speakers and facilitators, 20+ brand and institutional partners and representation from 6 countries and top Indian sports leagues. IAMGAME 2025 aims to double its footprint this year with deeper engagement from sectors such as technology, wellness, policy and content.
