Overview

Rario is a digital collectible platform that lets cricket fans collect and trade officially licensed cricket moments on the blockchain, represented as NFTs. Built on the Polygon network with partners including Polygon Studios and Animoca Brands, Rario offers player cards, video moments, and cricket artifacts. The company holds a large share of cricket NFT rights through exclusive partnerships with six international leagues and a roster of 900+ cricketers, and has a multi-year exclusive deal with Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers’ Association to create an Australian cricket metaverse. Founded in 2021 by IIT Delhi alumni Ankit Wadhwa and Sunny Bhanot and based in Singapore, Rario has sold over 50,000 NFTs across 20 countries, with the USA, UK, Australia, and India as top markets. With the recent investment, the company will offer FIAT-only products in India and aims to leverage access to Dream Sports’ 140 million users to grow toward becoming the largest cricket NFT platform globally.
