Scapia, India’s leading travel-first fintech platform, has announced its dual partnership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans as an Official Partner for the 2026 IPL season, strengthening its presence in the cricket ecosystem. While the association with Royal Challengers Bengaluru enters its second year, the new collaboration with Gujarat Titans marks an expanded effort to deepen fan engagement across franchises.
Through these partnerships, Scapia is reimagining how fans experience cricket—moving beyond traditional sponsorships to offer curated, access-driven interactions that bring them closer to the teams.
For Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans, Scapia introduces the Scapia Royal Entourage, a distinctive matchday experience that allows select winners to be part of the team’s extended entourage. From witnessing pre-match moments at the team hotel to travelling alongside the team convoy in a dedicated entourage bus, the initiative offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into matchday build-up. The experience culminates with premium hospitality seating at the stadium, complete with food and beverages, alongside opportunities to win match tickets and official merchandise through tiered participation.
Anil Goteti, Founder & CEO, Scapia said, “It’s great to be partnering with RCB – the defending champions once again. Last year, we got the chance to offer our cardholders an experience that made them feel like they were truly part of the game. The energy around it was incredible. This year, we’re looking forward to making it even more fun and electric for fans.”
Rajesh V Menon, CEO, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, said, “At RCB, our fans are at the heart of everything we do. Our partnership with Scapia brings them closer to the team and enhances the matchday experience. Initiatives like these create lasting memories and celebrate the passion that defines RCB.”
On the Gujarat Titans front, Scapia is curating equally immersive yet distinct experiences. The flagship offering, Day with the Titans, will see a top winner and their companion flown to Ahmedabad for an exclusive stay alongside the team at ITC Narmada, providing an insider’s view into team preparations and off-field moments. Additionally, the Scapia Titans Entourage will grant select winners access to a dedicated hospitality suite at the Narendra Modi Stadium during home matches, combining premium viewing with elevated matchday comfort.
Anil Goteti, Founder and CEO, Scapia said, “At Scapia, we believe the best memories are created through experiences. Our partnership with Gujarat Titans is about bringing fans closer to the game they love, not just as spectators, but as insiders. We are excited to unlock moments that fans rarely get to see. With this partnership, we will give Scapia users a rare glimpse into the team’s world – from matchday energy to behind-the-scenes moments.”
Colonel Arvinder Singh, COO, Gujarat Titans said, “At Gujarat Titans, innovation in fan engagement is key, and this partnership with Scapia allows us to create a more immersive and rewarding experience, bringing fans closer to the team and the game throughout the season. Cricket has always been deeply personal for fans, and games like hand-cricket are often where that passion begins. With Scapia Supershot, we are reimagining this format in a digital, competitive way, enabling fans to actively participate.”
At the core of both partnerships is the fan engagement campaign titled “The Game is Yours,” anchored by Scapia Supershot—a digital competition where participants team up and compete on a live leaderboard. The format unlocks rewards and experiences based on performance, ensuring that engagement extends beyond a select few and reaches a wider base of cricket enthusiasts.
By collaborating with two leading IPL franchises, Scapia is positioning itself at the intersection of travel, fintech, and sports entertainment—transforming cricket fandom into a more personal, participatory, and experience-led journey throughout the 2026 season.
