Fantain Sports was formed with the vision of bringing fans close to the sports they love. Over the years, Fantain has built cutting edge solutions targeting the sports market in India - including solutions for fan engagement, fan data analytics, data monetisation and fantasy sports. Through all of this - Fantain has been true to its original objective of helping the sports fan enjoy the sport more.BookMyShow, India’s largest e-ticketing platform and entertainment portal invested in Fantain originally in early 2016 and continued its investments till it took over the company in early 2020. I had an amazing 8 years at Fantain - leading the company right from concept generation, raising capital (~3 Mil USD), building world class teams and managing the company through various business pivots. Fantain became one of India's leading Fantasy Sports platforms, with over 2 million dedicated fans.The role of a start-up founder is hard to define, and rightly so. Companies are not built as a result of people sticking to defined boundaries - but because everyone in the organization collaborates incessantly and compulsively. The role of the CEO is primarily to foster this collaborative spirit and create an environment where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. In addition to being the primary cheer-leader in Fantain, I directly oversaw strategy, business development, fund-raising, P&L management, and HR.
