Top Industry Veterans Unite to Launch LegaXy – For Talent Management, Media & E-Sport IPs Creation and Building Sports Leagues

Gurgaon, India | 28th May 2025:Bringing years of collective experience and passion for talent, sports, and culture, three of the industry’s most seasoned professionals, Amitesh Shah (Former CEO of Shikhar Dhawan’s Da One Group, and former COO at Yuvraj Singh Group, Ex. Barclays), Aneesh Gautam (former Vice President at YouWeCan Sports, Cornerstone, Ex.Reebok), and Pawan Kumar Sharma, (a seasoned media CXOs, brings over two decades of leadership experience across companies like The Walt Disney Company, Star, Network18 & B4U Network), have co-founded LegaXy, new age sports, media & entertainment brand.

LegaXy is driven by a bold belief: Indian talent deserves global recognition, greater opportunity, and lasting value. With a global-first, full-stack model, LegaXy empowers athletes, artists, and creators through purposeful management built on precision, passion, and long-term vision. LegaXy would also launch Media IPs and Sports Leagues to sport, nurture and grow exciting new talent.

Despite India’s explosive growth in sports, entertainment, and digital content, most talent continues to face fragmented ecosystems, inconsistent commercial support, and limited access to global-scale opportunities. LegaXy emerges in response to this gap—designed to bring structure, creativity, and long-term thinking to an industry that has long operated in silos.

“LegaXy is a result of the journeys we’ve each taken, working closely with talent across different segments of the industry. We’ve seen where the gaps are and felt the need for a more holistic, value-driven approach. This venture is about giving talent the tools, partnerships, and purpose to grow meaningfully—not just in their careers, but in how they shape culture over time” said Amitesh Shah Founder & CEO, LegaXy.

He further added “India has the talent, the audience, and the ambition. We want to nurture this into building global sports, eSports, and media IPs from India for the World.”

Amitesh Shah, brings a rare combination of corporate leadership, sports industry insight, and entrepreneurial drive. At LegaXy, he anchors the company’s long-term vision and strategic direction, ensuring that talent, creativity, and commercial impact go hand in hand across entertainment, sports, and digital culture.

Aneesh Gautam, brings two decades of experience in shaping iconic careers in Indian cricket. His time at YouWeCan Sports (YWC) and Cornerstone honed a deep understanding of what it takes to nurture and elevate individual potential. This philosophy now guides every LegaXy talent journey.
