About Us?
We are “Money Ball” meets “Source Code“ - Our team consists of some of the most talented upcoming sports journalists and writers covering the latest developments in sports, aided by a talented tech team who are providing better visual tools and interface to approach these realms while also having a heady mix of ex-consultants and bankers who keen to put the best of their own learnings into driving what makes Media 2.0 work. What unites the team in spite of such differences in background is a simple one - we are all fans of the various sports we want to speak to you about. It is this desire to listen and present from a fan’s perspective which makes us special and hopefully unique in this industry.”
Why are we here ?
Our aim is to become the one-stop platform to the Indian sports fan where he can follow his favorite sports through live-scores, match reports, features, engaging forums and much more. We wish to be not just limited to Cricket, but cover popular sports like Badminton, Football, Hockey, Tennis, Kabaddi and others of the ilk in an age where more and more Indians now follow local leagues and championships. There exists a distinct and ever-growing fanbase into what would earlier be considered the fringes of the popular and it is to service this very base that is our motto.

What are we looking for ?
We are looking for people across four areas:
Our team is growing by leaps and bounds and we always have room for more people with a talent set which fills one single requirement - being passionate in whatever they are doing. It is this very passion which allows our employees to not just work on their specific work-streams - whether it be designing the next cool match centre page, a key feature on our Android app or coming up with stellar analysis of where a league stands at the moment - but also dip their toes into what others are doing and ideate how they feel their work will be best represented. What we are looking for is hunger - to perform, create and mostly innovate, and thereby help launch Indian Sports coverage to its logical destination - a shining plethora showcasing the multitude this country has to offer in terms of sporting skills, inspiring backgrounds and sheer raw excellence. If you feel you want to make your bit to further our ambitions as a sporting nation, our doors are open.

Our Team
Prefers watching Cuttack club cricket over Premier League football. That explains it, Doesn't it?
Just another weirdo whose life revolves around sports
Sometimes I like to hang out with people who aren't that bright, you know, just to see how the other half lives.
Living life between 22-yards, the rectangular field, the grass-court, the celluloid ball.....
To paraphrase Eduardo Galeano, it's taken years to finally accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football. And when good football graces my screen, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.
In a relationship with Sports. A follower of Old Monk. Just like Pablo had opined once, I could replace things, but I can never replace sports and wife.
At the center of every wrong-doing but never the one to be caught up in the mess, always have an opinion, but no one knows about my loyalties - the ultimate meme addict you would ever come across.
I'm not the author of my life to script my bio
In a world that revolves around Manchester United and Green Bay Packers, I put in a few hours at SportsCafe.
