IKF Partnership Guidelines
At India Khelo Football (IKF), we don’t just form partnerships — we build purposeful collaborations rooted in service, trust, and a shared vision for India’s football future.
As a Section-8 not-for-profit organization, IKF is committed to democratizing football dreams — and that includes keeping our platform neutral, transparent, and free from commercial exploitation.
No Commercial Deals. Only Collaborative Upliftment.
IKF will not enter into any commercial agreement with partners who are part of the football ecosystem — whether you're a football club, academy, coach, scout, or service provider.
We are not here to make money off your work — we are here to work with you, as a team, to uplift Indian football.
IKF will not charge commissions or cutbacks for any business done by ecosystem partners.
Instead, we encourage:
Partners to support IKF’s grassroots initiatives via CSR, donations, or sponsorship.
Joint efforts to reach underserved players who cannot afford professional support.
Alignment with our impact-first, non-exploitative philosophy.
Player Data Privacy: Uncompromised & Non Negotiable
IKF does not share player data with any external partner.
However, we welcome genuine opportunities (trials, scholarships, training) from partners, which IKF will:
- Share with players only if aligned with their interests, not the partner’s.
- Verify for transparency and intent.
Promotion: Self-Funded, Purpose-Driven
While IKF offers a wide reach through its digital platforms and national on-ground presence, all promotional efforts for a partner's service must be self-funded by the partner.
Visibility is possible only when:
- The offering is ethical, transparent, and aligned with our values.
- Promotion helps empower the ecosystem, not just sell to it.
Partnership = Purpose + Trust
IKF invites stakeholders who believe that football is a force for good — and who are ready to walk this journey without commercial intent, but with collaborative spirit.
“We don't compete with you. We complete the ecosystem with you.”
