CHANDIGARH — TIDA Sports, a Chandigarh-based multi-sports training and coaching platform, has raised ₹3 crore in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures. The company said the funding will support expansion into five states and 30 cities and help it work with about 200 schools, with a goal of bringing structured sports training to more than one lakh students.
The investment will also be used to upgrade technology, strengthen B2B operations, hire additional coaches and scale on-ground marketing, according to the announcement.
TIDA Sports partners with schools and local sports-body academies to provide access to training venues, coaching and tournaments. The company has worked with institutions including GD Goenka, DPS, DAV and Aravali and has organised more than 100 tournaments. It said its programs have supported players who have gone on to represent their states and the country. The company has received recognition from My FM and Times Power Icon for its work in sports technology.
Ankur Mittal, co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures, said the platform addresses gaps in access to coaching and infrastructure. He said TIDA Sports aims to make training and tournaments accessible at the grassroots level.
The company currently operates across Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana, with centers in locations including Rishikesh, Haridwar, Dehradun, the Chandigarh tricity, Patiala, Jalandhar, Ambala, Amritsar, Ludhiana and Ferozepur. With more than 150 academies, it plans to expand into major cities across India.
The founding team includes Adit Goel (CEO), Sumeet Malik (CTO), Priyansh Matta (COO) and Sanchit Budhiraja (CBO). The group brings experience in engineering, technology, operations and business development from organizations such as Thapar University, IIM Calcutta, Dotpe, Zomato, Aviva India and Standard Chartered.
Goel said the funding will support the company’s goal of strengthening grassroots sports. “Our mission is to bring professional coaching, structured programs and vibrant sports environments to every school in India,” he said.
The announcement cited projections for India’s sports industry to grow from USD 52 billion to USD 130 billion by 2030, with the global sports tech market expected to triple by the same year. TIDA Sports said it aims to contribute to this growth by providing multi-sport training across tier 1, 2 and 3 cities.
