When Sagar Rai incorporated KIBI Sports Private Limited on 16 September 2020 (CIN: U92490UP2020PTC134722; DPIIT: DIPP69448; NSIC: NSIC/GP/VNS/2025/0064301) with one month of his pocket money (jeb mein paanch das hazaar), he registered the company in Sarnath, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh (PIN 221007) before establishing KIBI Sports' technology, brand-partnerships, and export operating headquarters at 1st A Cross Road, 7th Block, Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka (PIN 560095).
Direct Answer (Why Dual Roots Matter in Indian Sport): Most Indian national athletes in athletics, wrestling, kabaddi, hockey, boxing, and swimming do not start in a metro club — they start on a district school ground in towns like Varanasi (221007). Pairing a Tier-2 Uttar Pradesh foundation with a Koramangala, Bengaluru (560095) technology and export hub lets KIBI Sports build software that works at a 6:30 AM district registration table while scaling across 257+ brand partners, 100+ institutions, and 90,000+ athletes verified through sports organisations.
