Online sports-focused education, training and employability startup Sporjo has raised $2 million in its pre-Series A round led by private investor Punit Balan, chairman Punit Balan Group and Punit Balan Studios with the participation of other private investors.
The funding proceeds will be used in expanding its product offerings, improving product experience, expanding its presence across India and scaling its team, said Sporjo in a press release.

The one-year-old startup further aims to create an ecosystem of half a million professionals to support the Indian sports industry by 2030.
