Indian sports-tech startup SportVot has secured ₹32.7 crore (approximately $3.9 million) in a fresh funding round led by IAN Alpha Fund, with participation from Anicut Capital, LetsVenture, Capital A, and SucSEED Innovation. Angel investors, including Garima Vohra and Gaurav Chanana, also participated in the round.
The capital infusion will be directed towards scaling the company’s international footprint and advancing its artificial intelligence-driven sports streaming technology. As the economics of traditional sports broadcasting continue to limit coverage to elite competitions, SportVot is positioning itself as a scalable infrastructure layer for the largely untapped grassroots sports ecosystem.
Founded in 2019 by Sidhhant Agarwal, Shubhangi Gupta, and Yash Bhagwatkar, the company offers a full-stack platform that enables leagues, academies, and tournament organisers to produce, distribute, and monetise live sports content. Its proprietary AI engine automates key elements of production, including match detection, highlight clipping, player tracking, and real-time data overlays, significantly reducing costs while increasing output efficiency.
SportVot’s platform has already demonstrated strong global traction, with over 500,000 matches streamed across 30+ countries and a cumulative audience reach exceeding 100 million. Its business model integrates multiple revenue streams, including subscription services, sponsorship integrations, and white-label OTT solutions tailored for sports organisations.
The funding round reflects growing investor interest in technology-led solutions that address the visibility gap in non-elite sports. With a vast majority of sporting events still going unbroadcast worldwide, SportVot’s model aims to unlock new commercial opportunities across content, data, and talent discovery.
Looking ahead, the company plans to deepen its presence across key international markets while continuing to invest in AI-led product innovation, as it works towards establishing itself as a global enabler in the evolving sports media and streaming ecosystem.
