Hudle raises $2.5 Mn in Series A round led by Sky Impact Capital

Sports-tech platform Hudle has raised $2.5 million in Series A funding led by Sky Impact Capital, with participation from Physis Capital, Atrium Venture, and notable angels including Mahesh Bhupathi, Gaurav Kapur, and the founders of Blue Tokai and Nitro Commerce. 

Earlier in April last year, Hudle had raised Rs 7 crore in its pre-Series A round led by Inflection Point Ventures.

The proceeds will be used to expand its venue network, enhance product features, and roll out a new rating system to improve engagement across recreational sports.

Founded by Suhail Narain, Arjun Singh Verma and Sonam Taneja, Hudle connects players with over 2,000 venues across 60 Indian cities, enabling real-time booking and game participation for emerging sports like badminton, pickleball, padel, and others. It facilitates over 150,000 games per month, and aims to cross 3 million games by the end of this fiscal. 

With over 3.5x growth in gross transaction value and 2.5x revenue growth in the last year, the firm's tech stack supports easy discovery, performance tracking, and game matching.

In August 2025, Hudle will launch GRIP (Game Rating Index for Players), a scoring and ranking system for recreational sports, starting with pickleball, padel, and badminton.
