Our Story

We play sports.
We built CREWCLE
for all of us.

CREWCLE started because a cricket game fell apart. No replacements, WhatsApp chaos, wasted booking fees. We knew there had to be a better way — so we built it.

Mission

Make it effortless for anyone in India to play sport.

Finding players, booking venues, splitting costs, ensuring everyone shows up — these shouldn't be full-time jobs. CREWCLE automates all of it so you spend your energy on the game, not the admin.

Our goal is simple: a world where you can pick up your phone on a Thursday evening, find 10 cricket players, book a ground, collect payments, and be playing by Saturday morning — all in under 5 minutes.

Make sport accessible to every urban Indian, regardless of how many friends they have.

Build accountability into the system so every player respects each other's time.

Grow local sports communities, venue by venue, city by city.
