Courts of Change: How Rido Sports is Building India’s Sporting Future | Between Us™ Podcast
What does it take to turn a barren patch of land into a space for dreams, discipline, and national pride?
In this episode of Between Us™, we sit down with Sandeep Bhola and Siddhant Bhola, the father-son duo behind Rido Sports, one of India’s most respected names in sports infrastructure development.
For over 30 years, Rido Sports has been silently transforming schoolyards, stadiums, and communities — one court at a time. But behind every surface they build lies a deeper story: of resilience, generational leadership, and a vision to redefine the future of sports in India.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a sports enthusiast, or someone interested in building with purpose — this conversation will leave you inspired.

The idea of ‘Between Us’ stems from the fact that every conversation matters, especially the one that we have with ourselves. Using podcast as a medium, I am fortunate to bring folks who have made an impact in everyday lives, from diverse backgrounds, to engage in a meaningful conversation. The topics are as diverse and deeply interconnected - from climate justice to big tech to healthcare as a constitutional right to millennial expectations to gender equality and inclusiveness. I warmly welcome you to join me in this journey.
