Arko Biswas — Co-Founder
I’ve spent the last few years at the crossroads of startups, technology, innovation, fan and consumer engagement—mostly in industries that are fast-paced and emotionally charged (think sports, media, and fandom). I've worked as a founder, consultant, and builder, launching digital platforms and experimenting with AI-powered solutions, always trying to blend creativity with business impact. Previously, I built an AI analytics solution for team sports with Sportilabs, following my journey as an independent consultant and Founder of SportiFan, a digital fan engagement and ed-tech SaaS product in the sports business space. At SportiFan, I led a global team in launching a platform that empowered sports franchises and rights holders to monetize their digital fan base across markets. My career in the sports industry has been anchored in innovation and leadership. As Joint Secretary at INSMA, I’ve played an active role in shaping strategy and enabling growth through research and academia, contributing to the professionalization of the Indian sports ecosystem. These days, I'm channeling my experience into building something new at the intersection of fandom, consumer behavior, operational excellence and design, with a broader lens beyond just sports. Crafting consumer-centric narratives, and Building from zero to one by shaping a category in a fast-moving brand ecosystem. I'm always up for conversations about entrepreneurship, fandom, storytelling, and the human side of tech. With an adventurous spirit and a love for discovering new cultures and cuisines, I believe curiosity is my greatest driver—both personally and professionally.
