The text is a transcript of a video that explains the business model of IPL, the Indian Premier League, a cricket tournament. The video covers the following points:
- IPL was launched by BCCI, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, in 2008, after competing with a similar league called ICL, the Indian Cricket League, which was started by a private company, Zee Entertainment Enterprises.
- BCCI is the governing body of IPL and has four main sources of revenue: title sponsorship, official sponsorship, media rights, and prize money. BCCI shares 50% of its revenue with the IPL teams.
- The IPL teams are owned by private companies or individuals, such as celebrities and businesspersons. They have to spend on various expenses, such as players' salaries, transportation, training, etc. They have four main sources of revenue: team sponsorship, stadium ticket sales, merchandising, and prize money. They also sell stakes in their teams to other investors.
- The broadcasters are the TV channels that buy the media rights from BCCI to telecast the IPL matches. They earn revenue from running ads of other sponsors on their channels. They charge a high rate for the ads during the IPL matches.
- The sponsors are the private companies that pay money to BCCI, the broadcasters, or the IPL teams to promote their brands. They benefit from the high viewership and popularity of IPL.
- The players are the cricketers who are auctioned and bought by the IPL teams. They get a high salary and also a share of the prize money if their team wins or reaches the finals. They also increase the brand value of their teams.
- The main motivation for the owners of the IPL teams to win the tournament is not the prize money, which is insignificant compared to their expenses and brand values, but rather the publicity and recognition that they get from winning. This attracts more sponsors and viewers to their teams.
The video ends with a recommendation to watch other videos on business models by the same creator.
1. The winning team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) season receives a prize of ₹200 million. This is a significant amount of money, particularly when considering that the cheapest IPL team, Rajasthan Royal, had a brand value of almost ₹2.5 billion in the last season.
2. The IPL has been around for 12 years and is fast becoming one of the most popular and valuable cricket leagues globally. It has also served as a model for other countries to follow.
3. The Indian Cricket League (ICL) was established a year before the IPL began. However, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) did not recognize the ICL and increased the salaries for playing in their domestic tournaments to prevent players from playing in the ICL.
4. The first season of the IPL was played in April 2008. The ICL was eventually discontinued due to the restrictions placed on players by the BCCI.
5. The BCCI is the governing body of the IPL and is responsible for conducting and organizing the league. In addition to the BCCI, there are three other main components in the Business Model of IPL: the Broadcaster, the teams of IPL (owned by private companies and individuals), and the Sponsors.
6. The BCCI receives two main sources of revenue: sponsorship amounts and selling rights to broadcasters. The title sponsorship has changed over the years, with DLF, Pepsi, Vivo, Dream11, and now Tata being the title sponsors. The current title sponsor, Tata, is estimated to spend ₹3.30 billion.
7. The IPL teams are owned by private companies or individuals and are required to bear significant expenses such as player salaries, transportation, and training. These expenses are covered through various sources of revenue including sponsorships, ticket sales, merchandising, and prize money.
8. The prize money for the IPL season is ₹200 million for the winner, ₹130 million for the runner-up, ₹70 million for the loser of the Qualifier 2 match, and ₹65 million for the team losing the Eliminator match. Half of the prize money goes to the owners of the team, and the remaining half is divided equally among the players.
9. The brand value of the IPL teams has started exceeding ₹20 billion. The owners of the IPL teams are motivated by the brand value of their team rather than the prize money. Winning the IPL provides publicity for their team, increases brand value, and attracts more sponsors.
10. The Business Model of the IPL also involves selling stakes in the teams to private companies. For example, LIC holds a 6.04% stake in Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals had sold a 15% stake to RedBird Capital Partners.
