Tech Mahindra and Amazon join hands to launch sports cloud platform

Hyderabad: Tech Mahindra on Monday said it has collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build a sports cloud platform for sporting enthusiasts worldwide.

Tech Mahindra and AWS will offer a comprehensive digital platform to sports organizations, offering use cases related to content and community engagement, customer data management and audience segmentation, and sports analytics, the company said in a statement. The platform will also offer immersive stadium-to-home fan experiences by leveraging augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/ VR), and metaverse gamification.

The cloud offering will also enable sports organizations to build and transform digital properties of sports teams and franchises and generate new revenue streams by developing new services and features tailored to audience needs.

Tech Mahindra and AWS in September this year announced a strategic collaboration where both entities can participate in joint go-to-market initiatives and drive business growth. Tech Mahindra Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Growth Jagdish Mitra said, "Our collaboration with AWS, that offers the broadest and deepest set of cloud services, will transform how fans interact with their favorite sports, creating a dynamic and captivating experience for viewers. By building Sports Cloud on AWS, we aim to build a personalized, fan-focused community that transcends physical sports."
