With our massive reach, we have used our varied platforms to both build a dedicated viewer base for many sports, and foster a culture that encourages people to participate in sports.

The results are for all to see – whether it’s a revival of interest in test cricket or the creation of a new space for an indigenous sport such as Kabaddi, viewership has soared. The focus on real time engagement with sport and a more comprehensive experience have allowed the audience to enjoy the sport on a more personal level. Assistance from channelled support, successful initiatives at grass root level and relevant placement of emerging sports on prominent broadcasting platforms are the building blocks for India becoming a multi-sports powerhouse.
