iB Cricket Bags Startup Of The Year Award At Entrepreneur India 2019

Young startup iB Cricket was awarded the Startup Of The Year (VR Technology) Award at Entrepreneur India 2019.  Entrepreneur India 2019 was the flagship annual event of Entrepreneur Media and had many startups competing for the prestigious Startup of the Year Award. 

iB Cricket, a virtual reality sport, is developed by XR technology based startup ProYuga, which is backed by iB Hubs.  ProYuga, based in Hyderabad, was co founded by Sama Vasantha Sai, an IIIT Hyderabad alumni and Kothinti Trivikrama Reddy, an IIT Delhi alumni who turned down a Rs. 1 crore job offer at a reputed MNC, prior to founding ProYuga. 

iB Cricket is a highly immersive true sport virtual reality (VR) game with a potential to reach 500 million users across the world.  This VR sport provides a complete gaming environment and gives a very realistic experience of playing cricket at magnificent stadiums, thanks to the game’s meticulous design.  The game has a personalized AI coach and many global tournaments, which allow users to build their cricket career like that of their favorite cricketer’s. The startup has been strengthening its presence in India and also expanded to countries like UK, Singapore, Australia and Dubai.

iB Cricket achieved many milestones since its inception and recently collaborated with Viu to host the world’s first virtual reality cricket tournament, the iB Cricket Super Over League, where 12 prominent international cricketers like Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Herschelle Gibbs and McCullum competed against each other.  iB Cricket also became the official VR gaming partner of 5 IPL teams—Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

With a goal to make India a world leader in advanced technologies, iB Cricket and ProYuga work to provide VR platforms for immersive games at gaming arcades all over India.
