About Us

Introduction: The Minnnn Story

At Minnnn, we’ve built India’s most comprehensive digital sports platform from the ground up, specializing in cricket, football, kabaddi and basketball coverage tailored specifically for Indian audiences. What began as a passion project among sports-crazy friends in Mumbai has transformed into a 24/7 sports news powerhouse reaching over 30 million monthly active users across the subcontinent.

Our Founding Philosophy:
“To create the sports coverage we wished existed as Indian fans – deeply knowledgeable yet accessible, data-rich yet emotionally engaging, global in scope yet local in perspective.”

Chapter 1: Our Origin & Growth Journey

The Early Days (2018-2020)

The Minnnn story started when three former college teammates – Rahul, Priya and Arjun – grew frustrated with the lack of authentic Indian perspectives in sports journalism. Working nights and weekends, they:

• Launched a basic WordPress site covering Mumbai’s local cricket tournaments

• Developed a unique bilingual style blending Hindi-English commentary

• Built India’s first crowdsourced kabaddi statistics database

Key Milestones

• 2019: Became first digital-only platform accredited for Pro Kabaddi League

• 2020: Secured IPL media rights as youngest ever licensee

• 2021: Crossed 5 million users during Tokyo Olympics

• 2022: Launched revolutionary AI-powered fantasy sports tools

• 2023: Expanded to 8 regional language offerings
