AI SummaryIndia's para-sports ecosystem is expanding rapidly through IOA ad-hoc committees and national championships, creating demand for standardized medical documentation across 28 state federations and 2,000+ registered para-athletes. The addressable market is ₹18-22 Cr annually (federation subscriptions + SaaS fees). Timing is critical in 2026 as DPDP Act 2023 compliance becomes mandatory and Asian Paralympic qualifications increase medical classification requirements. Entrepreneurs with healthtech + federation relationships should build this platform to serve state sports authorities and national para-sport bodies.

The Opportunity
As para-sport federations expand (IOA ad-hoc committees, national championships, Asian qualifications), they need standardized medical records, disability classification documentation, and athlete health history management. Currently, athletes like Gunika manage medical records across multiple hospitals and clinics with no unified system. Federations cannot easily verify disability status, track post-surgery performance trajectories, or build athlete profiles for sponsorship/media storytelling.
