Celebrating a Day of Success on the Sports Field! 🎉 What a phenomenal day it was at Our N.M Lokhande Maharashtra Institute of Labour Studies Nagpur! Engaging in spirited battles of chess, the thrill of cricket matches, and the energy on the volleyball court—every moment was a testament to the vibrant sports culture we foster. As I reflect on the day, it's clear that sports in college isn't just about winning or losing, it's about the togetherness, the shared passion, and the joy of pushing our limits. 🧠 Beyond the Field: The Impact on Employee Engagement The lessons from sports extend beyond college life. In the professional arena, sports competitions play a pivotal role in fostering a culture of teamwork, resilience, and togetherness among employees in an organization. They are not just activities, they are invaluable asset for building strong, collaborative teams. 🏏 Cricket: Every strategic move teaches us the importance of collaboration and adaptability. ♟️ Chess: Planning, foresight, and patience—qualities that transcend the chessboard to the workplace. 🏐 Volleyball: Team coordination and quick decision-making in action Incorporating sports into organizational culture isn't just about physical activity, it's an investment in the holistic development of individuals and teams. It enhances morale, promotes well-being, and creates bonds that translate into a more dynamic and engaged to workforce. Let's continue to champion the spirit of sports, both on and off the field, fostering a culture of teamwork and success. 🌟 #SportsDay #Teamwork #EmployeeEngagement #CollegeDays #Leadership

It's been more than 4 years that I've been at the helm of Operations at SportVot, and what an exhilarating journey it has been. Today, I'm thrilled to share our game-changing impact on #Indiansports. From starting our journey by covering local Kabaddi events in parts of #Mumbai to digitizing domestic #cricket in Nashik, #Maharashtra, the Rajasthan #Basketball League in Bhilwara, #Rajasthan, the Climate Cup #football tournament happening at a staggering 11,000 ft. in Leh , #Ladakh, to now covering one of India's biggest #badminton championship taking place across 10 cities starting in Guwahati, #Assam. We have truly stretched our reach across the length and breadth of #India, making sports broadcasting accessible in its truest sense! But what's exciting is not just the locations across the country from where we have digitized and live streamed the local sports events but the fact that all these games were produced with premium broadcasting features, having multiple camera angles, live commentary integration, stunning graphics overlay and detail scoring and player data tracking. What once seemed as a luxury for any below tier sports association or sports property, with SportVot Cloud Studio we are actually able to make it an affordable reality. We're putting the power of #sportsbroadcasting in the hands of every Indian sports enthusiast and together are pioneering for a transformative shift taking Indian sports forward! #sports #sportsproduction #sportstechnology #sportscommunity #sportsdigitization #sportsstreaming #sportsstartup #startupindia #digitalindia #sportsindustry #sportsmedia #sportvot

The construction of India's second-largest cricket stadium in Jaipur marks a significant milestone in the city's development and sports infrastructure. This state-of-the-art facility not only symbolizes Jaipur's growing prominence in the sporting landscape but also promises substantial economic impacts. With its completion, the stadium is poised to become a focal point for various cricket tournaments, attracting a multitude of spectators from across the country and beyond. This influx of visitors is expected to stimulate the local economy, benefiting sectors such as hospitality, transportation, and retail. Moreover, the stadium underscores the potential for corporate partnerships and sponsorships, further enhancing the financial viability of the project. The development of such a landmark venue not only elevates Jaipur's stature in the sports arena but also catalyzes growth in the city's commercial real estate market. As businesses seek to capitalize on the increased foot traffic and heightened visibility brought by the stadium, demand for commercial properties in Jaipur is likely to surge, fostering a vibrant and dynamic market landscape.

Here's why Mahalunge is an attractive investment or significant appreciation destination. Over the past few years, the residential property market in Mahalunge has experienced a significant appreciation, making it an attractive investment destination. Several factors contribute to this upward trend in property values. Firstly, Mahalunge's strategic location, situated near the bustling city of Pune, has played a crucial role. The proximity to key economic hubs, educational institutions, and commercial centers has increased the demand for housing in the area. Additionally, infrastructural developments such as improved connectivity through roads and public transportation have enhanced the overall accessibility of Mahalunge, further driving up property values. Moreover, the burgeoning IT and business sectors in Pune have led to a surge in job opportunities, attracting a growing population to the region. This population influx has fueled the demand for residential properties, subsequently causing an uptick in property prices. The development of social amenities, including shopping complexes, healthcare facilities, and recreational spaces, has added to the overall livability of Mahalunge, making it an even more appealing choice for homeowners and investors alike. As the real estate market in Mahalunge continues to evolve, it is likely that the appreciation in residential property values will persist, making it a promising investment for those looking to capitalize on the region's growth and potential.

Why does the BCCI not host IPL Finals in non-IPL playing cities? Here's the venue-wise split of all the 13 IPL Finals conducted in India (out of 16 seasons): - Mumbai = 3 - Chennai = 2 - Bangalore = 2 - Hyderabad = 2 - Kolkata = 2 - Ahmedabad = 2 Issues? - Matured Economic Growth: These Tier-1 cities already attract significant investments and business opportunities. The economic marginal utility of hosting a big-ticket game in these cities is minimal at best. - Event Saturation: Tier-1 cities frequently host numerous events, conferences, and cultural activities throughout the year. Hosting yet another big-ticket game in such cities may result in oversaturation and reduced novelty. - Sustained Global Exposure: By hosting a minimum of 7 games per season, these cities are already exposed to huge amounts of media coverage and tourism. Again, it's about diminishing marginal utility. Alternate Venues: - Ranchi (Jharkhand) - Indore (Madhya Pradesh) - Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) - Dehradun (Uttarakhand) - Cuttack (Odisha) Key Benefits: - Economic Development: Hosting major events in tier-2 cities can stimulate the local economy by attracting visitors and boosting business activity. The influx of participants, spectators, and media personnel can lead to increased spending on accommodations, transportation, dining, shopping, and other services. - Sports Infrastructure Development: BCCI's Annual revenues are to the tune of $230 million (INR 1900 Crores). The abundance of such capital can be utilized towards developing a superior stadium infrastructure and sporting facilities. - Tourism: The media coverage and international attention generated by the IPL Finals can help showcase the city's unique features, cultural heritage, tourist attractions, and potential as a destination, thereby, promoting local tourism. - Community Engagement: Cricket is a ubiquitous sport in India. Hosting big-ticket games in such venues can foster community engagement and provide an opportunity for the locals to participate, volunteer, and showcase their city's hospitality and culture. (e.g.: IPL Fan Parks) Mind you, the alternative venues mentioned above are ALL Ranji Trophy venues. Meaning they already have the base infrastructure set in place to host an event as big as the IPL Finals. "There is no lack of ability. There is only a lack of opportunity." Should the BCCI seriously consider this? Let me know below! #iplfinals #ipl2023 #bcci #india

Thought I'd share a  throwback memory when VGC was chosen to brand and position Asia's largest Smart City, Dholera.   Built on the historical foundations of the Lothal Civilization of the Indus Valley, Dholera aspired to echo the ancient pioneers of industry and trade by charting a path for an ambitious India.   Using the ratio of the bricks of Dholera as an inspiration, VGC crafted a vibrant visual identity that combined the essence of their legacy with a tech-forward new-age city.   This was then brought alive through a comprehensive design language that not only extended across digital and outdoor but also into physical spaces within and around the city.   We then worked with key stakeholders such as government bodies, industries, investors, and many more to mine insights that helped us  position it as - 'Dholera, a New Era,' heralding the dawn of a transformative age for the country.   And this was then extended into a go-to-market strategy, with a comprehensive multimedia campaign, and other strategic value-adds to help them create awareness of the new brand with leading investors and organisations from across the globe.

Jallikattu, considered one of the traditional sports of Tamil Nadu, is also a cultural identity. In the sport, the arena, especially the ‘vaadivasal’ (the space through which the bull enters the field to face the players), holds significant importance. In places that have become synonymous with the sport, like Alanganallur and Palamedu in Madurai district, the arenas where jallikattu has been held for centuries are located near temples, and they hold a lot of sentimental value for the locals. Besides, the uniqueness of the arenas lends a distinct flavour to the sport. Read here: https://lnkd.in/g2Eruv7v
