Dream Sports CTO Amit Sharma resigns to launch his own AI startup; says, 'Building something cool again'
Dream Sports CTO Amit Sharma resigned after nearly a decade to launch an AI startup, stating he is 'building something cool again'.
Sharma joined Dream Sports in 2016, scaling its tech team from 20 to 600 members based in Mumbai, after working at Netflix and Yahoo in the US.
Dream Sports is adapting to India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which prohibits online money games; Dream11 was repositioned as a sports entertainment platform.
Dream Sports is winding down its financial services app Dream Money by 30 July 2026 and discontinued AI-powered sports app Dream Play in June 2026.
The online gaming sector faces a Supreme Court ruling upholding retrospective 28% GST, reviving large tax demands.
