RevSportz completes four years today. It still feels like the other day when, sitting in a Dubai hotel, I decided to quit the consultancy I had done for nine years and start RevSportz. A disruption was much needed, and I was determined to try and make a change. In these four years, one thing I can safely say is that we have indeed been able to disrupt—and make a difference.
None of this would have been possible without the team we now have. Yes, we have our disagreements, arguments, and differences of opinion. Meltdowns too—Shamik Chakrabarty and Sarvanash is now cult! But never have we stopped standing up for each other. We understand that people will make mistakes. Some stories will go wrong. But there will never be a dearth of effort, and never a lack of team bonding.
Also, everyone working for RevSportz is ambitious—and they should be. I don’t expect them all to be friends; for career professionals, that isn’t always possible. They don’t need to dine together every day or socialise with each other. But each time there is a crisis, every one of us stands by the other, for we are Team RevSportz in the end.
What has pleased me greatly is that people—both seniors and young team members—have now picked a second sport. It was something I had insisted on. Atreyo Mukhopadhyay, for example, has picked up chess and is now excellent with his chess reporting. Rohan Chowdhury has taken to Paralympic sport and is arguably the best in the country. Gargi Raut has taken on badminton and hockey, while Trisha Ghosal leads the women’s cricket coverage. Bharath Ramaraj has focused on athletics, while Abhishek Mishra covers both athletics and hockey. Subhayan Chakraborty and Debasis Sen do both cricket and football. Rohit Juglan too has stepped into hockey, alongside his cricket reporting. Our football reporters are encouraged to follow both Indian and global football—not restrict themselves to just one. It is never one or the other; it is always one and the other.
One thing we have done well is plan—prepare as best as possible. That’s what has allowed us to cover almost every major event across the world. For example, our 2026 plan is almost set. We will have reporters on the ground at the U19 World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia, the T20 World Cup at home, the IPL, the Women’s T20 World Cup in England, every bilateral tour for both men and women in cricket, the Badminton World Championships, the Hockey World Cup, the Commonwealth Games, and, of course, the Asian Games—not to mention some of the Diamond League competitions and everything to do with Indian football and the major tournaments in chess.
Reporters have been advised to be ready. The roster is ready, and it allows people to mentally prepare. Clarity has always helped us, and we want to be more focused going forward. While we cover international events, we will also be present at all major domestic competitions, whether in football, athletics, or hockey.
As I have said before, we are all living a dream. And now, it’s four years done—and counting.
