      PlayCom – Business of Sports Summit 2025, jointly hosted by Sportstar and KPMG in India brings together global leaders from federations, leagues, broadcasters, investors, and digital platforms to shape the next phase of India’s fast-evolving sports economy.

      India’s sports industry, valued at over USD 24 billion, is ever expanding. Yet, vast commercial opportunities remain underexplored, particularly in athlete storytelling, fan monetisation, and platform-led innovation.

      We are proud to co-host PlayCom Business of Sports Summit 2025 alongside Sportstar, bringing together visionaries and changemakers from across the global sports ecosystem. India’s sports economy is entering a transformative phase driven by digital innovation, evolving fan engagement models, and growing appetite for investment across leagues, infrastructure, and talent development.

      The next wave of growth will come from collaboration bringing together investors and technology partners to unlock new opportunities. It’s about building platforms that not only grow the business of sports but also create lasting value for everyone involved.

      PlayCom 2025 is more than a summit. It’s a platform to exchange ideas, shape strategies, and drive the future of sports in India and beyond.
