Today, cutting-edge technology is transforming athletic performance and development in India, propelling the nation towards a new era of sporting excellence. With innovations like advanced synthetic tracks, AI-driven performance analytics, and comprehensive sports science programs, the future of Indian sports is being redefined. As these advancements permeate from elite athletes to grassroots levels, India is poised to become a global powerhouse in the sports arena.

Empowering Indian Sports Through Cutting-Edge Technology

Technology is emerging as a game changer for India’s athletes by revolutionising training methods, enhancing performance analytics, and optimising recovery processes. The Indian sports technology market, currently valued at approximately $1.5 billion, is set for dramatic expansion, with projections indicating a nearly 30% growth by 2026. This surge reflects the widespread embrace of advanced technologies, which are enhancing not just elite athletes’ capabilities but also offering everyday sports enthusiasts the tools to improve their performance.

This was the topic of discussion at the IITM Sports Tech Startup Conclave 2024 on how industry representatives are leveraging technology to revolutionise athletic performance and development in India.
