Gamepoint, a Hyderabad-based sports-tech startup, has successfully raised ₹7 crore in a pre-Series A funding round. The investment was co-led by Raj P Narayanam (Founder of Zaggle) and Aditya Vuchi, with participation from Praveen Raju and several other investors.
The fresh capital is earmarked for two primary objectives: expanding its footprint of multi-sport centers and strengthening the company’s proprietary technology and operational efficiency.
The Business Model: A “Neighborhood Sports Center” Approach
Founded by Aditya and Siddharth Reddy, Gamepoint aims to democratize access to high-quality sports facilities. The company operates professionally managed hubs designed for all age groups, providing an organized alternative to traditional sports infrastructure.
Key Offerings Include:
-
Structured Coaching: Professional programs tailored for children.
-
Flexible Access: Membership and “pay-and-play” models for adults.
-
Corporate Solutions: Comprehensive sports event management.
-
Premium Infrastructure: International-standard courts for badminton, squash, basketball, and more, alongside on-site sports stores.
Growth Trajectory and Competition
To date, Gamepoint has established a strong presence in Hyderabad and Warangal, claiming to have trained over 12,000 students and enabled more than 3 lakh people to engage in active sports.
The startup’s roadmap is ambitious. Over the next five years, Gamepoint plans to scale to more than 300 centers across Metros, Tier I, and Tier II cities. This expansion is designed to reach a target of 1 crore people playing sports across India. As it scales, Gamepoint faces competition from other specialized players in the sector, including Machaxi, KheloMore, and Huddl.
