Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Procam International: India's largest mass-participation sports event company, organizer of the Tata Mumbai Marathon and other major running events. Listed as a core strategic partner of ABBF; comparable as ecosystem participant that enables ABBF's flagship Run InSync and marathon inclusion activations.

Broad incumbents

• Paralympic Committee of India: National governing body for para-sport in India, affiliated with the International Paralympic Committee. A larger, more established organization operating broadly across adaptive sports — overlapping with ABBF's mission but at a federation/governance scale rather than grassroots adventure-sport experience delivery.
• Sightsavers India: Large international development NGO operating in India focused on preventable blindness and disability inclusion. Broader in scope than ABBF but competes for the same pool of corporate CSR funding targeting disability causes in India.
• CBM India: India arm of CBM Global Disability Inclusion, an international development organization working on disability inclusion across health, education, and livelihood. Larger, more established organization targeting the same CSR funding pool with overlapping corporate partners in India.

Direct peers

• Special Olympics Bharat: India affiliate of Special Olympics International, organizing year-round adaptive sports training and competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabilities across India. Directly comparable as a non-profit delivering adaptive sports programming to PwDs in India with corporate partner support.
• National Sports Club for the Disabled: Mumbai-based non-profit providing adaptive sports training across multiple disciplines for PwDs in India. Operates a comparable model of inclusive sports programming with a similar geographic and beneficiary base to ABBF.
• Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled: Bengaluru-based non-profit serving persons with disabilities through education, livelihood, and sports programs. Listed as an active ABBF partner for inclusive trekking, and operates a directly comparable model combining disability services with sports and adventure programming in India.
• Magic Bus India Foundation: Large India-based non-profit using sport and activity-based learning for youth development among underprivileged communities. Highly comparable operating model — sport-led programming, strong corporate CSR partner network (similar enterprises), and outcome-driven impact reporting.

Emerging players

• National Association for the Blind, India: One of India's oldest disability-focused NGOs, serving visually impaired persons across rehabilitation, education, and sports. Comparable in mission focus on a specific disability segment (visual impairment) with which ABBF's founder personally identifies.
• Wheelchair Basketball Federation of India: National federation promoting wheelchair basketball across India. Comparable as an adaptive-sport organization serving a specific PwD segment; smaller in scope than ABBF but intersecting in the broader inclusive-sports ecosystem.
