TeeTime Ventures

What TeeTime Ventures does

TeeTime Ventures is a Bengaluru-headquartered private company founded in 2014 by Hari Natarajan that designs, distributes, and installs indoor golf simulators, mini golf courses, putting greens, and multi-sport recreational facilities across India and Sri Lanka. The company operates as the exclusive regional distributor for ProTee Golf Simulators in India and UAE, with the ProTee VX ceiling-mounted, AI-powered launch monitor (dual high-speed cameras, AI-driven club path and face angle tracking, sub-0.3-second feedback) as its flagship technology. It has completed over 80 turnkey installations for enterprise clients including Google, Flipkart, Infosys, Cisco, JW Marriott, Taj, Oberoi Realty, Sattva Group, and RMZ Corp, plus educational, government, and armed forces sites.

TeeTime operates two company-owned indoor golf centers under the Golfer's Edge brand in Bengaluru and Chennai, offering simulator sessions, coaching for adults and children (ages 7+), corporate events, and simulator rentals on daily, weekly, and monthly terms. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project installation fees, recurring retail/coaching revenue at Golfer's Edge venues, simulator rental, corporate golf event management, accessories (including the proprietary Putting Crescent tool), and ProTee VX distribution margins. Pricing across all streams is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed.

The business has expanded beyond golf into adjacent recreational categories — cricket simulators, F1 racing and PlayStation gaming rooms, bouldering walls, basketball and squash courts — and in August 2025 secured an exclusive territorial license from Ultimate Long Drive, Inc. to operate long-drive golf competitions in India. Governance is founder-led: Hari Natarajan serves as Co-Founder & CEO and Bharath Arvind as Head of Marketing and Co-founder of Golfer's Edge, with no disclosed institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Full Swing Golf: Full Swing Golf manufactures indoor golf simulators and partners with celebrity/professional golfer endorsements. Comparable as a simulator manufacturer whose products compete for the same enterprise, hospitality, and residential installation market as TeeTime's offerings.
• Foresight Sports: Foresight Sports designs and manufactures launch monitors and golf simulators used in commercial installations worldwide. Comparable as a simulator hardware/technology provider competing for the same enterprise and retail indoor golf customers as TeeTime's ProTee VX platform.
• Golfzon: Golfzon is the world's largest indoor golf simulator operator and manufacturer. Both companies sell/install golf simulators and operate indoor golf venues, though Golfzon is global and TeeTime is India-focused with the ProTee platform.
• Trackman: Trackman is a premium launch monitor and simulator technology provider widely used by professionals. TeeTime's ProTee VX competes in the same ceiling-mounted AI launch monitor category Trackman pioneered in the high-end segment.
• AboutGolf: AboutGolf is a simulator manufacturer and installer focused on commercial indoor golf entertainment venues. Directly comparable as a turnkey indoor golf solutions provider competing for enterprise, hospitality, and entertainment venue clients.

Others

• ProTee United: ProTee United is TeeTime's exclusive technology partner and simulator manufacturer. Listed as a peer because TeeTime's competitive position is built on ProTee's platform; any change in that relationship directly impacts TeeTime's offering.
• Decathlon (India): Decathlon is a listed TeeTime customer (putting green installation) and operates large-format sports retail. Relevant as an adjacent sports/fitness ecosystem participant and potential channel partner rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• Sky Greens / Greenjoe Turf Pvt Ltd: India-based providers of putting greens, mini golf, and artificial turf installations for commercial and residential clients. Comparable as regional India competitors for TeeTime's non-simulator putting green and mini golf installation business.

Broad incumbents

• Topgolf Callaway Brands: Topgolf is the global leader in golf entertainment venues combining tech-driven gameplay with F&B and events. While TeeTime is India-focused and project/installation-led, both operate indoor golf experiences using launch monitor technology and serve corporate/hospitality clients.
• Drive Shack: Drive Shack operates indoor/outdoor golf entertainment venues in the US with proprietary tech. Comparable to TeeTime's Golfer's Edge retail model and custom installation business for entertainment-focused golf venues.
