Ritu on Meghna: “It is true that we actually met at a job interview in 2019. We hit it off, we started talking and I took the job. I’m not sure I actually wanted the job, but I knew I wanted to work with this woman, so I thought well, let’s see how this goes and we haven’t looked back since”.
Meghna on the business opportunity: “I was in the travel industry when this opportunity came around in 2019 and I was in Fashion before that. So I was always interested in being in an industry that would be futuristic and provide solutions that were not already available. People asked me why I was joining a start-up business, but if I didn’t join a start-up, that would mean that I didn’t believe in my own capabilities”.
Ritu on sport: “Sport was not something that woke me up one morning and thought, I must figure out more of what is happening in the sports technology world. But definitely, the interest was there in understanding newer technologies like AI and what new sectors we could explore”.
Meghna on the scale of their sports media project: “For me, the biggest thing was to realise just what the scope of this thing is, I mean, how big it is and what a massive impact it can have on everyday life. During the pandemic, a lot of sport was not being played. But the viewing figures for the sports that were played went through the roof, which means that it is something that touches almost everybody”.
