What is SportsNexus?


SportsNexus is an initiative I started highlighting the development in the Indian sports business sector. Over the past 10 years, SportsNexus has captured Indian sports business through infographics, opinion-based articles, social media news and a podcast. The main objective of SportsNexus is to inform sports rights holders, sports entities, sports business media and executives about the developments in the fastest-developing sports consumption market of India.
