My journey with Seven3Sports has been incredible as we have pursued uncharted territory. Our story began with obtaining the IPL Global Mobile rights, bringing cricket closer to fans.

We made history by broadcasting the FIFA World Cup matches across South Asian countries, reaching over half a billion people. Later, we launched Bundesliga on the digital platform in India, another first-ever accomplishment. We also dreamed of Nepal's first-ever T20 official cricket league, and despite challenges, controversies, and biased campaigns from the local media, we successfully launched NepalT20, entertaining millions of cricket fans worldwide.
As an entrepreneur, I learned to remain strong in the face of negative publicity and racism, standing firm and pursuing my dreams. We must be brave, fearless, and resolute to create innovative business models that cause creative disruption and pursue our goals despite any obstacles that may arise.
