Feat. Harsh Jain, CEO & Co - Founder of Dream11

Shunya One

Did you know that there 800 million sports fans in India out of which 500 million watch sports online? On this episode of Shunya One, Shiladitya, and Amit Doshi are joined by one of the brightest minds, Harsh Jain. Harsh talks about calling his office space as 'Stadium', why he can't wait to get his employees back before the IPL, followed by the world cup. Harsh shares his entrepreneurial journey with us, explains why he chose this format, creating the category of E-sports and fantasy sports in India which didn't exist before. They discuss in detail why they moved away from the long season format to per match day format, why fantasy football doesn't do more innovation and is stuck with it's purest form and why broadcasters have the upper hand in sports in India. Further, Harsh talks about offering personalised sports products in the future. Shiladitya and Amit ask Harsh if they are trying to get Dream11 outside India, what are the structural hurdles he sees in sports in India and how we can overcome it. Tune in for this and much more with CEO & Co - Founder of Dream11, Harsh Jain.
