Parthiv Patel backs Artificial Intelligence sports-tech startup

Former India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has invested in SportzEngage Technology, an AI-powered sports analytics platform.

Parthiv, who is the assistant coach of IPL franchise Gujarat Titans, thus joined angel investor Kunal Sinha in backing the Bengaluru-based startup.

"As a coach, I’ve seen firsthand how data and technology can elevate performance, from sharper training sessions to smarter match preparation,” said Parthiv in a release.

"AI led analysis will significantly boost the way players train, how teams prepare, and how talent is discovered. I’m excited to work closely with the team as they build this."
