Garysplay: Democratizing Access to Quality Cricket Gear for India’s Rising Athletes
Garysplay is a sports gear brand on a mission to make high-quality cricket equipment accessible and affordable for the underserved Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets of India. While major sports brands primarily cater to urban elites, a vast majority of aspiring athletes in smaller towns struggle with limited access to reliable, affordable, and performance-driven sports gear. Garysplay bridges this gap by offering well-designed, durable, and cost-effective cricket gear that meets the needs of young players across India’s heartland.
We are building a trusted, made-in-India brand that delivers value through direct-to-consumer channels, academy-led partnerships, and a strong on-ground presence. Our hybrid approach leverages both e-commerce and offline retail via sports academies, school tournaments, and local resellers. With in-house product innovation, we ensure that every Garysplay bat, glove, pad, or ball meets the demands of training and competitive play, while staying cost-efficient for families outside metro cities.
Our product lines are tested and endorsed by coaches and young athletes, adding credibility and trust at the grassroots level. We are also developing a digital ecosystem where athletes can customize their gear, track orders, and participate in skill-based contests to build community engagement and loyalty.
India’s sports economy is rapidly evolving, with increased government focus on "Khelo India", rising aspirations, and digital inclusion driving demand in small towns. Garysplay is positioned at the intersection of this growth curve, aiming to become the go-to cricket brand for Bharat.
With SISFS support, we seek seed funding of ?50 lakhs to scale production, expand distribution, and strengthen our brand footprint across North India. Our vision is clear: empower India’s next generation of athletes by giving them the tools they need to rise — regardless of their pin code.
