What Is Sportsversity? More About India's First Sports Education Platform

Former India A captain and potentially one of the best batsmen in India at the domestic level, Priyank Panchal is leading the launch of a new project called Sportsversity, a sports education platform built to support athletes and help them prepare for careers outside active competition.

Panchal, who serves as the Strategic Advisor for the platform, had a successful first-class career with Gujarat. Across 127 matches, he scored 8,856 runs at an average of 45.18, including 29 centuries and 34 half-centuries.

Speaking about the move, Panchal said that after playing more than 100 first-class games, representing India, and getting the opportunity to captain India A, he believed retirement after the 2024–25 domestic season was the right time to begin a new journey and take on a different challenge. Also, interested candidates can now apply for the July 2026 period.
