Cricket Ground Event Management and Venue Booking Service
The Opportunity
Chennai has multiple cricket grounds (IITM-Chemplast, Wahe Guru, etc.) hosting league matches, but no centralized platform or professional event management service. Clubs, teams, and tournament organizers struggle to book venues, arrange logistics, and manage match-day operations. A service to handle ground bookings, equipment rental, and match day coordination can fill this gap.
Market Size
₹40-50 Cr addressable market annually — Chennai's cricket clubs, schools, corporate teams, and league organizers spend on venue rentals and event logistics
Business Model
Partner with 8-10 cricket grounds in Chennai to become the exclusive booking and event management agent. Charge 15-20% commission on ground rental fees + additional fees for equipment rental (stumps, scoreboard, refreshment setup). Handle scheduling, ground maintenance coordination, and match-day logistics.
Booking commission: ₹2-5 lakh monthly (₹24-60 lakh annually) from 30-40 matches per month at ₹5,000-15,000 per matchEquipment rental: ₹15,000-25,000 monthly from portable scoreboards, chairs, and pitch coversEvent add-ons: ₹10,000-20,000 monthly from catering coordination, live streaming setup, and match photography services
