Thank you! Get Ur Game is just this – the one-stop-shop for all things game and sports-related. We reduce your search time and make sports more accessible to you by providing everything at the click of a button.
If today I want to play any sport, I first need to look up facilities near me on the internet. Then I will have to call each one and find out the details like their timings, charges, amenities. Then I will have to compare them all and call up again or visit the facility to book a slot.
The process is too cumbersome and mostly you need to have a membership which can be too costly. This is where Get Ur Game comes in.”
We have created an app to cut down on all this! Simply choose your favourite sports on the Get Ur Game app, view all facilities near you. You can see their timings, available slots, charges, everything in one place. Pay and book your favourite slot and just go and play! Everything at the click of a button!
During this COVID-19 crisis, what are the measures you have undertaken to continue your business without disruption?
With the second Corona wave and the subsequent lockdown, with our motto of bringing sports to your doorstep, we launched an online training session program, Get Online with Get Ur Game, which is aimed to benefit both, the users and the trainers. Get Ur Game app shows the users all available trainers and the sports or activities available for online training.
Currently, the available sports and activities are fitness/strength training, Zumba and Yoga and the startup is striving to constantly increase the sports available. Get Ur Game Soon you will have options like kickboxing, karate, even cricket training at home. You can sign up for either of these sessions through the app with the instructor of your choice.
You can check individual instructors, see their certifications and qualifications and even give your reviews and rating. The online session can be booked for the time slot of your choice.”
Simply join the online session through the link that will be shared with you, from the comfort of your home.
How do you manage to keep going despite the challenges? What drives the team?
Unwavering dedication towards our goal. We are expecting hurdles and challenges and these are just normal things on the road to success. We look at failures as stepping stones and learn from them and move on.
Please share with us about your expansion plans?
We are focusing on the online sports available and are working towards expanding the same. We shall soon introduce sports like kickboxing, karate, Pilates for online training as well as at home, distance-sports training like cricket, football etc. Bringing on more features.
What has worked well for you so far?
Bringing on a like-minded team who understands what you want and believes in the same goals. This has greatly worked in our benefit and has made work enjoyable and efficient.
What is one strategy that you guys believe has helped you grow as a team/startup?
Undivided focus towards a single target – “Bringing sports to your doorstep”. We are dedicated towards this goal and in making sports accessible to all.
We firmly believe that we will achieve our goal and we work together, towards this goal with fervent dedication.
In your opinion – what is more necessary: An Idea or a good team for a successful start-up?
Both. A great idea cannot be executed without a good time and similarly, a good team is wasted on a bad or non-existent idea.
What advice would you give students and young professionals who want to have a successful career?
Take up the challenges that come to you, don’t be afraid of failures, it helps you to learn. Believe in your dreams! Do not give up on your dreams even when faced with failures. Take them up as challenges and find a solution!
