Founder Hridhay M pitching Dotball – an ecosystem, a fantasy sports platform where cricket fanatics that are part of a social network pay-to-play daily.
“What made cricket fun in the childhood days was playing the sport at the local ground with our friends. That level of interactive engagement with the sport has diminished over time. We want to rekindle the joys of these childhood passions. That’s our vision. Technology enables us to solve this problem at scale for the 400 million + online cricket fans in our country.” says Hridhay.
He further lists some interesting facts about the startup:
● The founding team has technical expertise from building the official IPL fantasy game for 2017 & 2018 which was played by 1.3 million cricket fans
● Their employee rewards system is modelled on fantasy gaming. (Yup! fantasy truly runs in our veins)
● It took us only two months to go live with our MVP (talk about speed!)
