For sports nutrition, hydration, electrolyte, and recovery brands, generic lifestyle influencers rarely drive high-trust trial among serious players. KIBI Sports connects nutrition brands directly with 90,000+ athletes verified through sports organisations and 100+ institutions across 20+ sports and 25+ Indian cities.

Two connected legs for nutrition & activewear brands

KIBI Sports is a sports business from India with two legs: sports equipment from 257+ brand partners sold through our own ecommerce and international B2B exports, and a sports platform used by athletes, academies and institutions.

  1. Verified Athlete Seeding Cohorts (Brands & Sponsorships): Filter verified athletes by sport (athletics, boxing, football, cricket, badminton, swimming, gym/fitness), city, and tier badge (Nano to Mega) for authentic training-routine reels.
