Real-time match logistics coordination for broadcast crews
The Opportunity
With 48 teams across 12 groups in 16 venues globally, broadcasters need to coordinate equipment, crew rotation, and content distribution across simultaneous matches. Current systems are fragmented—no unified platform tracks crew availability, transport schedules, and live content handoff between regional broadcast centres in real-time, causing missed feeds and delayed content delivery.
Market Size
₹180 Cr — 500+ global broadcasters × average ₹30-50 lakh annual SaaS spend for tournament-specific logistics + 40 major tournaments yearly across FIFA/ICC/Olympics
Business Model
Freemium SaaS: Free tier for small broadcasters (single venue); Pro tier (₹8-12 lakh/year per broadcaster) for multi-venue, real-time crew tracking, equipment routing, and content delivery confirmation; Premium tier (₹18-25 lakh/year) adds AI-driven scheduling and automated crew cost optimization.
Per-broadcaster annual subscription: 150-200 active users × ₹10 lakh avg = ₹15-20 Cr annualizedAPI integration fees for production houses connecting in-house systems: ₹2-5 lakh per integration × 50-80 customers = ₹1-4 CrPremium support & tournament-specific ops consulting: ₹15-30 lakh per major event × 3-4 events/year = ₹45-120 lakh
