Rario co-founder and CEO, Ankit Wadhwa said: “In 1996, I saw Sachin Tendulkar live for the first time at the India-Sri Lanka World Cup match in Kotla, Delhi. The greatest player in the world had scored a run-a-ball 137 – he is the hero of a billion cricket lovers.

“Twenty-six years later, partnering with the Master Blaster with him investing in Rario is a surreal feeling. It is a testament to our vision of making fandom more accessible. With the ‘God of Cricket’ backing us, sky is the limit!”

Speaking on the partnership, Tendulkar said: Fans are an integral part of any sport. While the on-field action happens for a few hours, fans carry the memories forward and immortalise those moments forever. It is exciting to see NFT technology bringing fans closer to sports, giving them an opportunity to treasure their favourite moments. I am happy to partner with the team, to launch my digital collectibles exclusively on the Rario platform”.

“Our goal is to bring cricket fans closer to the sport and their idols by providing them with unique personalised experiences. There is no greater cricketing idol than Sachin Tendulkar! We are thrilled to have him as a strategic investor and brand ambassador on our journey to build the world’s largest cricket fan club,” said Sunny Bhanot, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Rario.
