Dream Sports the parent company of Dream11 has carried out a major restructuring after the government ban on real money gaming reshaped the online gaming landscape in India. The ban which halted paid fantasy sports contests forced the company to rethink its entire strategy as its primary source of revenue disappeared almost overnight. Instead of stepping back Dream Sports responded by transforming its business model and reorganising itself into eight independent units each designed to operate with agility and pursue new opportunities in sports entertainment and technology.
These new units function like individual startups with their own leadership teams and the freedom to build products raise funds and expand in their respective categories. Among the most notable are FanCode which focuses on sports content and streaming DreamSetGo which offers curated sports travel experiences and Dream Sports AI which develops tools in data analytics and artificial intelligence for performance insights. The company has also diversified into fintech through Dream Money and continues to support open innovation and social initiatives through Dream Horizon and the Dream Sports Foundation. Each of these verticals reflects the company’s commitment to grow beyond its original fantasy sports model and to serve a wider audience in the global sports ecosystem.
The restructuring also led to a redistribution of employees across these new business units with a smaller team now dedicated to the new free to play version of Dream11. The company clarified that the shift was not a round of layoffs but a reallocation meant to align talent with future growth areas. With the move Dream Sports aims to reduce its dependence on regulated gaming formats and to strengthen its position in areas such as content creation sports technology experiential offerings and fan engagement.
