Mumbai: SPORTSDAQ, India’s first sports business exchange, has announced a strategic partnership with The Bridge as the Digital Media Partner for SPORTSDAQ 2026.
As SPORTSDAQ’s Digital Media Partner, The Bridge will promote and amplify the event scheduled to take place at Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad between the 26th and 28th of November.
SPORTSDAQ 2026 will serve as the first major platform for this collaboration; a global conference and expo bringing together stakeholders from India and across the world to exchange knowledge, explore opportunities and establish long-term partnerships. The collaboration enables SPORTSDAQ to better engage with national and global sports-centric followers and stakeholder base.
Titled ‘PLAY IN INDIA: Building A Global Sporting Future, Amdavad 2030 to Olympics 2036’, SPORTSDAQ 2026 is being organised with endorsement from the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports and the Sports Ministry of Gujarat, and is built on the active participation and strong commitment from the leadership of the Government of Gujarat and India’s Central Government in building world-class sports infrastructure and positioning India as a global sporting hub.
Yogesh Vyas. Chief Executive Officer, Exhibetter, said: “We are delighted to welcome The Bridge as our Digital Media Partner. Through this collaboration we aim to utilise the wide reach of The Bridge to promote and amplify SPORTSDAQ 2026 and spread awareness of the conference to every stakeholder associated with India’s sports growth story. India is entering what could become the most significant decade in the history of its sports industry. The scale of investment required to successfully host the Commonwealth Games, pursue the Olympic Games and strengthen India's sporting ecosystem demands meaningful international partnerships, and we are glad that The Bridge is part of this journey.”
“The Indian sports industry is at an inflection point and poised for rapid growth,” said Arshi Yasin, Founder & CEO, The Bridge.
“SPORTSDAQ brings every stakeholder together to build and consolidate its future. Over the past decade, The Bridge has been working tirelessly in bringing to the digital audience stories about Indian Olympic sports and sharing the voices of both players and stakeholders. SPORTSDAQ’s goals align with our philosophy and we look forward to working closely in the coming years.”
The high-profile conference and expo are being organised by Exhibetter and Round3 at a pivotal moment in India’s sporting evolution. As Ahmedabad prepares to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and India advances its ambitions to host the 2036 Olympic Games and 2038 Asian Games, the nation is entering what many believe will be the most significant decade in its sporting history.
These ambitions are expected to drive unprecedented investment in sporting infrastructure, technology, innovation and human capital, positioning sport as a major pillar of India’s economic and social development.
Scheduled to be held over three days in Ahmedabad from 26-28 November 2026, SPORTSDAQ will bring together global leaders from sport, technology, infrastructure, investment, government, media and business to examine how India can build the world’s next great sporting ecosystem.
