In the dynamic landscape of India's fitness industry, where health and wellness have taken centre stage, fitness brands are constantly looking for innovative ways to reach their target audience effectively. Traditional advertising channels like TV, radio, and press have been the go-to choices for decades.

India is a sports crazy nation, and due to easy access to internet and streaming facilities, there has been an emergence of domestic sports leagues that have gathered massive popularity with huge fan bases. Domestic sports events attract millions of viewers, through in stadium spectoatorship and broadcast mediums. By associating with these events, fitness brands gain access to a captive and highly engaged audience, making it an ideal platform to showcase their products.
