IPL inspired and styled National Olympics for all sport categories The solution to the abysmal performance of the Indian contingent at the Paris Olympics is to build an IPL inspired and styled National Olympics for all sport categories. On the lines of what has been done for Kabaddi. 1. It will help flood the sporting framework in the country. 2. Help select and refine talent from the population without fervour or favour. 3. Improve the health of the youth. 4. Drastically improve the medal tally. 5. Fuel the ecosystem for the sporting industry like never before. #paris_olympics

An eye Opener from Sania Nehwal "Hume medal jeetne ke baad milta hai paisa, wha tak pahuchna uski preparation karne ki koi salary ya paisa ni milta" Cricket me aapko saal bhar ke contracts milte hai, they are paid to play cricket annually. India's sports narrative often revolves around cricket, but what about the countless athletes striving in other sports? The challenges they face are immense—many lack accessible sports facilities, financial backing, or even proper injury recovery support. We often hear, "Why does a nation of 1.4 billion people struggle to win medals?" But the real question should be, how many of these 1.4 billion actually have access to the resources needed to excel in sports? Criticizing the medal count doesn't address the root issue. It’s also not entirely fair to say the government only supports athletes after they win. The reality is that many athletes receive minimal help during their preparation and training. If we want to see more medals and global recognition, we need to invest in grassroots sports infrastructure, provide financial aid, and offer comprehensive support from the very beginning of an athlete's journey. Let's champion a change in how we nurture talent in our country! #IndianAthletes #SportsInfrastructure #GrassrootsDevelopment #SupportSports #india #cricket #olympics

The concept of "time and precision" in sports has been crucial since the first Olympic Games in 776 BC. "Every fraction of a second" can make a difference between "winning and losing", highlighting the significance of "quick thinking and fast action" in sports. There can hardly be a sport in which thinking quickly and acting fast is not required for winning. In fact, there are numerous instances in sports when winning or losing depends on a few milliseconds, making every fraction of the second crucial. India finished 71st across medal tally’s & are now in a court for a Silver, an athlete was  disqualified as she exceeded a weight norm, isn’t it about metrics in competition, marks in an exam or in business as you call P/L Numbers. #Olympics #Sports #Competition #Time #Precision #Metrics #Success

The inclusion of cricket in LA28 has sparked some fruitful opportunities for the Indian Olympic Committee and the brands who would like to have a crack at a global billion eyeballs. Nikhil Vyas, Founding Partner, ITW Universe & CEO of ITW Sports Inc. USA, said, “Cricket is the most viewed sport in India and the most followed genre, and the country has a population of billion plus that will ramp up the potential viewership numbers for the IOC. The inclusion of cricket will also help the IOC to secure a better media rights deal and understand what to expect and how much they can potentially monetise it as the pricing of this sport is exponentially more as compared to any other sport. “It is commercially a very big opportunity for the Olympics, and this will also help in gathering a significant audience for other sports as well.“ Shantanu Ugrankar, Head – Revenue, Strategy & Planning, Meraki Sport and Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, added, “The inclusion of cricket in the Olympics will generate significant interest from global corporations and Indian companies and could well become an alternative option for advertisers, beyond ICC events."

India’s Olympic performance often leaves us asking, “Why aren’t we winning more?” The answer lies in how we support our athletes! Unlike cricket, which enjoys immense popularity and funding, other sports struggle for recognition and resources. Cricket receives: – central contracts,  – world-class facilities, and  – massive marketing campaigns. In contrast, sports like athletics, wrestling, and shooting receive much less attention and funding. To put things into perspective: - The BCCI, which governs cricket in India, has an annual budget of over INR 3,000 crore. - Meanwhile, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) operates with a budget of around INR 900 crore. This gap significantly impacts the training, infrastructure, and exposure available to our athletes in other sports. Yet, despite these challenges, our athletes continue to inspire us! This year, we’ve won 6 medals at the Paris Olympics, showcasing their incredible resilience and dedication. As a nation, we need to support all sports with the same passion we have for cricket. Let’s celebrate our Olympians' achievements and commit to providing them with the resources they deserve!! #olympics2024 #cricket #sports

The significant progress made by Nepal Cricket Team in the international stage over the years & the introduction of maiden annual cricketing calendar by Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has sparked a significant increase in cricketing activity during the first quarter of '24. This change has not only heated up the sports domain but also ignited conversations across brands in the country. In Nepal, the lack of organised competitive sports and broadcast quality has discouraged brands from sponsoring significantly. However, the noticeable improvement in quality from this year's cricketing events has turned heads. Along with the regular jam packed stadium, the viewership has blown away broadcasters as their YouTube channel gained average viewers of 50 K & over 100 K viewers during competitive matches, not to mention discussions across social media platforms. This shift has not only revitalized the cricketing scene but has also created a much-needed platform for domestic and multinational brands to utilise the opportunity for awareness, visibility & customer engagement. It has been a positive move by few brands to step up their game with commercials, social media contents & brand endorsements featuring national cricketers. As the market observes this transformation, there is an anticipation regarding whether brands will be able to capitalise on mens team participation at ICC Men's T20 World Cup this summer. The mega event presents an enticing prospect for local companies seeking to enhance their visibility and connect with a broader audience by developing engaging creative contents.

From Street Courts to National Identity: The Power of Sports in the Philippines and India In the Philippines, basketball reigns supreme, woven into the national fabric since the early 20th century. From street courts to the professional PBA (Philippines Basketball Association), the sport fuels a passionate community and ignites fervent fan loyalty. Across India, cricket transcends mere sport, becoming a national obsession/religion that unites millions. The IPL (Indian Premier League), a cricket spectacle, draws massive audiences and generates significant revenue, demonstrating the sport's unparalleled popularity. Both basketball and cricket, though differing in scale, act as powerful unifying forces, reminding us of the profound impact sports can have on a nation's spirit. The comparison between IPL and PBA has been startling if one looks at sheer numbers . PBA holds a huge monetization potential if executed professionally. #PBA #PHBasketball #LabanPilipinas #BasketballFan #GoForGold #GameDay #SampungLibongUgatNgPuso #OneNationOneTeam #IPL #Cricket #IndianPremierLeague #T20 #LiveCricket
