Anil Ambani, the younger brother of Mukesh Ambani, is a well-known figure in India. But many may not know about the ‘second brother’ of the country’s richest man. Renowned businessman Anand Jain, a close friend of Mukesh Ambani since their school days, is often considered like family. While Mukesh Ambani’s children, Isha, Akash, and Anant, have made their mark in the business world, Anand Jain’s son, Harsh Jain, has built a massive Rs 65,000 crore empire of his own.
Harsh Jain is a young entrepreneur and founder of Dream11, the first Indian fantasy sports company to become a unicorn. Dream11 is a leading platform in India, sponsoring the Indian cricket team at a base price of Rs 358 crore. The brand has also secured some of the most famous Indian cricketers as brand ambassadors, including MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Shikhar Dhawan.
Harsh Jain, along with his friend Bhavit Sheth, founded Dream11 in 2008. The idea for the fantasy gaming app emerged after the launch of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite initial challenges, Dream11 has grown into a successful startup with numerous records to its name.
Beyond cricket, Dream11 has invested in other sports, including the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), the World Basketball League (WBBL), the International Hockey Federation (FIH), the British Basketball League (BBL), and more. Jain’s passion for sports, technology, and gaming has driven the success of Dream11, a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and vision.
