Seventeen-year-old ScoutMe Founder Kush Pandey speaks at the launch of his app, ScoutMe, which was endorsed by the All India Football Federation.
A new scouting platform built by a teenager in Delhi and adopted by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) last month seeks to level the playing field in India by unearthing talent in rural regions that might have otherwise been overlooked.
Kush Pandey, a 17-year-old soccer player, came up with the idea for ScoutMe after noticing a gap in the market when his Delhi-based team out of the Bhaichung Bhutia Football School went to play a team in a small rural village.
