Entrepreneur Background
Arvind Sivdas (Co-founder) is the platform's technological and strategic backbone — the IIT Madras graduate whose sports passion converted into platform-building capability, combining digital media expertise with deep knowledge of Kabaddi's grassroots community structure. Suhail Chandhok (Co-founder) is the most publicly credentialled sports media professional in Season 1's entire founding team roster — a Pro Kabaddi League presenter and commentator since the league's inception in 2014, with established relationships across Kabaddi's entire professional ecosystem (franchises, players, management, media).
The Product / Service
Kabaddi Adda is India's only all-in-one Kabaddi digital platform — combining a content and media distribution platform (live scores, match coverage, player interviews, news), a "Tournament in a Box" service (enabling grassroots organisations to host and telecast local Kabaddi matches), and India's most comprehensive Kabaddi player database (6,500–7,000 players with detailed performance statistics, auction histories, and form data) — with its own owned-and-operated K7 Tournament that scouted 20 players into the Pro Kabaddi League in its first season, and a dedicated women's Kabaddi programme ("Mahela Mondays").
