Aryan JeetendraAgrawal

For Aryan, it has always come back to three things: Singapore, cricket and building something from scratch.

Born and raised in Singapore, he fell in love with the game at Overseas Family School. That passion carried him into Singapore colours at U16 and U19 level, and today he is part of the Singapore men's national team probables.

Playing was never enough on its own. In 2021, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, he started Thunderbolts CC with a handful of friends. Fifteen players became a community of more than 200, and the club picked up silverware along the way, including an unbeaten Cage T30 Division title in 2023. Building it taught him how to bring people together, lead them and create something that lasts.

Next came the competitions themselves. Aryan launched and ran IA Cup Season 1 and BPL Season 1, handling everything from team coordination and fixtures to match-day operations.

The same instinct led him into business. He founded and operated SKTB and SportsKingdom Stores, which later became part of the wider CricKingdom ecosystem. At SKTB he runs operations and logistics, from stock and suppliers to fulfilment, so that kit reaches players' hands on time. His time at SAP, across strategy, operations and CX pre-sales, sharpened the same skills in a corporate setting.

Whether it's a club, a tournament or a business, Aryan is the one who makes it run. His goal is simple: to use what he has learned as a player and an operator to help sport, and the communities around it, keep growing.
