We spoke to Vicky Goyal, an IT professional and founder of a grassroots fantasy sports platform MyClubtap.
Being a cricket fan, Vicky spent hours at cybercafe picking his team on ESPN Super Selector, the fantasy cricket game in the early 2000s. After arriving in Melbourne and being a part of a community cricket club, Vicky thought of running a fantasy game for his club where users have an option to select players from the club itself and score points based on their performance on the weekend’s match. Initially, it started on pen and paper and he moved on to excel sheets.
MyClubtap has evolved and improved over the years and it is now a complete web-based platform where a club can easily set up its own fantasy game. The platform has 200+ cricket clubs registered and recently six new sports were introduced on MyClubtap: Footy (AFL), Football (Soccer), Hockey, Netball, Basketball and Rugby Union. Vicky spoke about the journey and challenges faced working on MyClubtap in this episode.
