Simpler registrations and statistics
They are also planning to launch a mobile app, which will be available on various platforms once the season begins.
KheloMore is currently working as a website to facilitate the online procedure, bringing together young athletes, coaches and academies, on one digital platform. The aggregator will take care of all the records of the events that will take place under MSSA’s jurisdiction and upload it on the website. Soon, they are also planning to launch a mobile app, which will be available on various platforms once the season begins.
The organisation is the brainchild of Jatin Paranjape, the former Indian cricketer, who is now one of the selectors for the Mumbai Ranji Team. “India needs to be pushed towards becoming a nation of participants from being a nation of viewers. Our technology aims to make everything digital. Records of the sports events will be put up online on our website as well as our app. This will make it easier for athletes and their parents to access information,” explains Paranjpe.
With this coming into effect, the school representatives will not have to go to Azad Maidan to fill the forms, which will now be done online. This also bridges the gap for the players as they can know how they are doing through the website and the upcoming app.
“For the first year, there will be online and offline registrations because some schools lack the awareness. The forms will also be available at Azad Maidan. Then we will make the whole process digital. Our intention here is to not make any profits out of this but create an efficient database which will let the parents know how their child is doing and also help the scouts to access these records,” he adds.
