The Indian Premier League (IPL) team, Mumbai Indians (MI) have announced a new partnership with a platform that aids people to build a career in the Indian sports industry, Sporjo.
Following this deal, Sporjo has been labelled as the official (seed) tech partner of the five-time IPL champions. The alliance has been formed with the goal of developing young talent for the sport’s off-field business.
The Rohit Sharma-led team announced this deal on the social media platform. The post said, “#MumbaiIndians 🤝 Sporjo
Welcome to #OneFamily, @sporjoindia 💙
Nurturing young off-pitch talent together.”
Sporjo is a company that evaluates, trains, and places people in the sports industry. It is a platform for people who want to work in sports, with the goal of turning their passion into a career and creating a merit-based path.
Sporjo’s vision is to create an environment of half a million specialists to support the Indian sports industry by 2030.
The Mumbai-based IPL team have already been eliminated from this season after losing nine games. Nonetheless, MI continues to pose a threat to other teams who are still competing for a playoff spot.
