One of the issues with fitness is that gyms and similar facilities feel boring for a lot of people. I’ve always said that a better way to stay fit is to play a sport you enjoy because it won’t feel like a chore. Sports are also more accessible for a lot of people.

With this in mind, we’ve supported many sports-focused startups that are trying to get more Indians to pick up a sport through Rainmatter.

Some of the startups that we are supporting:

Game Theory and Machaxi building coaching centres and venues for various sports

Spectacom (DevilsCircuit & Yodha) and Yoska (IRONMAN Triathlon, Hyrox, Duathlons): creating participatory sports events.

Fitpage (running) and Sisters in Sweat (women in sports): fostering community-led sports movements.

OGQ, GoSports Foundation, and Simply SPort Foundation: supporting promising athletes through sports foundations
