General
KIBI Sports is a unified digital operating system for the sports ecosystem. We provide a SaaS admin portal for sports institutions, a mobile app for athletes, an AI-powered sponsorship platform for brands, and a sports marketplace.
We're headquartered in Koramangala, Bengaluru (Karnataka, India). Founded in 2020, KIBI Sports Pvt. Ltd. is recognized by Startup India.
KIBI Sports supports 20+ sports including cricket, football, badminton, kabaddi, athletics, swimming, wrestling, tennis, boxing, table tennis, hockey, basketball, volleyball, martial arts, squash, fencing, motorsport, golf, gym/fitness, and more. The platform is sport-agnostic, so new sports can be added at any time.
Over 15,000 athletes and 800+ organizations are on the platform across 25+ cities globally. We've facilitated 6,800+ sponsorship connections with 134+ brand partners.
For Institutions
The admin portal covers 6 core modules: onboarding and invites, memberships and athlete management, event operations (creation, registration, check-in, scoring, certificates), communications and CRM, payments and payouts (Razorpay-powered), and reporting and analytics.
Most organizations go live within two weeks. Day 1 is a discovery call, days 2-3 for account setup and configuration, days 3-5 for athlete migration or invite-based onboarding, and by week 2 your first event is live.
Yes. The admin portal supports custom roles with granular permissions. You can create different access levels for administrators, coaches, event managers, and other staff members.
Event payments are processed through Razorpay with automatic settlement tracking. The platform handles registration fees, coupon management, invoicing, and refunds.
For Athletes
All sports industry professionals are welcome — athletes, coaches, trainers, and sports enthusiasts across every sport. No referral or invite code is required. Simply sign up and build your verified profile. Affiliate membership is also available for those who want to be formally part of the platform community, though it is not compulsory.
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification confirms your identity using government-issued documents (Aadhaar, PAN). Your documents are admin-reviewed to ensure your profile is trusted and verified on the platform.
When you complete a brand campaign's deliverables and they are approved, your payout is processed through the platform. You can track earnings, view transaction history, and manage your bank account in the app.
The app is currently in active development for the next version. Android will be the first platform, with iOS planned for a future release. Contact us to request early access.
For Brands
You submit a campaign brief with your goals, target sports, geography, and budget. Our AI algorithm scores athletes across sport fit, geographic reach, audience tier, deliverable capabilities, and budget compatibility, producing a match score from 0-100 for each athlete-brief combination.
Athletes are classified into five tiers: Nano (under 10K followers), Micro (10K-50K), Mid (50K-200K), Macro (200K-1M), and Mega (1M+). The platform supports campaigns at every tier level.
The platform shows teaser information (name, sport, city, tier) for matched athletes. Full profiles with detailed metrics are unlocked after booking a demo with our sponsorship team.
Four categories: athlete sponsorships (direct brand-athlete partnerships), league and tournament sponsorships (title, ground branding, digital rights), venue sponsorships (naming rights, digital screens, merchandise zones), and event activations (sampling, product placement, experiential marketing).
