'Agle Saal Apni Company Leke Aaunga': Why Sagar Rai Skipped Final-Year Placements to Build KIBI Sports

Sagar Rai |

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.

At age 21 in his final year of civil engineering, after two years of CDS defence exam prep and clearing the written exam, Sagar Rai was made to sit in campus placement sessions because of low attendance. Inside that orientation hall, three questions took over: Why? What? How?

Key Highlights & Ecosystem Pathways

  • Clarity on the First Step: When a classmate asked, 'Bhai tu placement mein nahi baith raha kya?', Sagar replied, 'Agle saal apni company leke aaunga, tu baith jaana usmen.'
  • Solving Lived Friction: Having experienced selection politics in U-14 football in Assam and stopping badminton at semi-state level due to coaching costs, he built KIBI so future athletes wouldn't face the same walls.
