Stupa Sports Analytics is making waves in the sports-tech industry with its innovative approach to digitizing sports. The startup, founded by Megha Gambhir and her team, is committed to revolutionizing the way athletes, teams, and fans engage with sports through advanced technologies, particularly artificial intelligence and data analytics.
Recently, Stupa raised ₹28 crore in a Pre-Series A funding round, led by Centre Court Capital and Peer Capital, bringing its post-money valuation to ₹98 crore. This funding is crucial as Stupa aims to enhance its technological capabilities and expand its global footprint. With a focus on racquet sports, the company already serves clients in Europe, including countries like Sweden, Spain, and Norway, and is now looking to tap into markets in the US, UK, Australia, and West Asia.
At the core of Stupa’s offerings is its comprehensive platform for sports event management, known as Stupa Events. This platform caters to a wide range of events, from local tournaments to major international competitions, ensuring precision and efficiency in organization. Additionally, Stupa Cast enhances the sports viewing experience by integrating AI data insights into broadcasts, providing fans with engaging visuals and in-depth analysis.
The latest funding will allow Stupa to attract top talent in AI and machine learning, driving the development of advanced solutions across a broader range of sports. The company plans to expand its portfolio to include table tennis, badminton, pickleball, and padel, thereby increasing its market visibility and ensuring it remains at the forefront of the evolving sports-tech landscape.
In just four years, Stupa has formed over 15 strategic partnerships with key sports federations and governing bodies, primarily in Europe. These collaborations highlight the startup’s commitment to bridging the gap between traditional sports management and modern technology. “We envision a future where cutting-edge sports technology empowers athletes, federations, and fans alike with data-driven insights,” says Gambhir. “Our ambition is to elevate the sporting journey for every Indian athlete and amateur player.”
As Stupa Sports Analytics continues to grow, its focus on innovation and global expansion positions it as a leader in the sports-tech industry, driving the transformation of sports through technology and digital solutions.
