KIBI Sports is a sports business from India with two legs: sports equipment from 257+ brand partners sold through our own ecommerce and international B2B exports, and a sports platform used by athletes, academies and institutions.
When Sagar Rai told his father — who had joined the paramilitary forces through the sports quota — that he wanted to build a life around sport, his father asked: 'Kamaoge kaise? Ghar kaise chalaoge?' (How will you earn? How will you run a household?).
