50 Matchdays, 23 Weeks, 2 Founders Over 30, and a Community That Kept Us Going

This journey is not just about fitness or a quest towards the promised land. It’s about the courage to try something new. Whether it’s a startup that thrives on a silver lining or a player stepping onto the pitch for the first time, we now truly understand the challenges. And we deeply respect every single soul on a path that tests them.

As the confetti from the marvellous T20 World Cup campaign begins to settle, we are reminded of a phrase often whispered in the backrooms of the Indian sports business ecosystem: “In our country, 99 people watch and 1 person plays. Why build something for the 1?”

Our answer is simple: we want everyone to know how that 1 feels. Call it chasing lost causes or sharing a dream — no one within our system really cares. As long as we convince one more person to take the pitch, we believe we’re headed in the right direction.

To achieve this with 458 people, playing 4 sports over 50 games in just a few months — to introduce so many to the joy of sport for the first time, to enable many more to experience top-tier sports gear without the burden of massive costs, and to build a community that embodies inclusivity — feels like a significant step in that direction. It feels like we’ve already started breaking down barriers. Ask the women who participate in Sprentzo games and they will attest to it with pride. Having moved from not being given an equal playing field to having everyone rooting for them week in and week out is probably the cherry on top of an already fine cake.

And none of this was easy, but none of it ever felt like work. We’ve built our entire foundation around the word ‘PLAY,’ and we will continue to build as long as an aspiring player holds that word close to their heart.

For us, the two founders, every player among the 458 helps validate the trust and support that others have placed in us. Each time a player steps onto the field, they add to our chorus of belief. Every new player brings us closer to our vision, and each story created erases the struggles of another day.

Let us not stop until that 1 becomes 100. Let us not stop until we introduce the joy of sport to 1 more person. Let us just not stop!

Taking the pitch with Sprentzo is just the first step. We’ve made that even easier by bringing Sprentzo to your doorstep. The best part lies beyond the white line.

Warmly,
Piyush & Pravruth
