Mahesh Bhupathi backed Tennishub is an exclusive tennis store co-founded by Tennis player and Olympian Vishnu Vardhan. The company also launched Runninghub.in, an online store that will cater exclusively to running enthusiasts.
Chandra Sekhar, CEO, Sports 365 said, “The USP of the platform would be the ‘GAIT analysis’. Runners need to upload a small 20 seconds video of them, and a team of experts would analyze the same and recommend shoes best fit for each runner.”
Speaking about the evolution of sports in India Tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi told BI India, “There is so much room for any sports that comes around. Two years ago who would have thought Kabaddi would have created the kind of buzz it has, or that 80,000 people would come watch a tennis match last year, or that wrestling would make it big. It’s just the beginning, and the potential is immense. We haven’t even started scratching the surface.”
