Fitnext Sports Infra Honoured at Nagpur Startup Meet: Premium Sports Flooring Solutions for Societies and Commercial Projects
Nagpur, Maharashtra – Housing societies, schools, clubs and commercial developers across India are investing more in sports and recreation spaces, and the surface underfoot decides how safe, durable and playable those spaces are. Fitnext Sports Infra, a Nagpur-based sports court flooring manufacturer established in 2007, is supplying premium flooring for these projects. The company has now also been recognised at the Nagpur Startup Meet with an award for Excellence in Business Innovation.
Award for Excellence in Business Innovation at Nagpur Startup Meet
Fitnext Sports Infra received the Excellence in Business Innovation trophy at the Nagpur Startup Meet, a recognition of the company’s work in building modern sports infrastructure from its Nagpur base. The award adds to more than 16 years of experience in the sector and reflects the company’s focus on quality materials, customised court solutions and dependable project delivery.
For societies, schools and developers choosing a flooring partner, third-party recognition of this kind is a useful signal alongside the company’s completed projects and customer feedback. To learn more about the company’s journey, visit the About Fitnext Sports Infra page.
Why Sports Flooring Matters for Societies and Commercial Projects
A sports court is no longer a “nice to have.” Housing societies now promote their badminton and pickleball courts alongside the clubhouse and swimming pool, schools and academies compete on training facilities, and commercial developers know that a well-built recreation zone can lift a project’s value and keep residents and tenants happy.
A court in a society or commercial campus is used every day by children, teenagers, working professionals and senior citizens. It has to withstand heavy use, sun, rain and limited maintenance budgets, and above all it has to be safe. Poor flooring leads to slips, joint stress and uneven bounce, and it wears out fast. Good flooring offers grip, shock absorption, weather resistance and consistent playability. That is the gap Fitnext Sports Infra works to close.
India’s Largest Game Court Flooring Manufacturer
Fitnext Sports Infra has completed more than 500 projects and built over 600,000 square feet of sports surfaces. The company describes itself as India’s largest game court flooring manufacturer. Every system is made from fully tested materials and designed to international standards, so that athletes and everyday users get the right balance of performance and safety.
Its work serves sports facilities, academies, schools, clubs and professional players across the country. Whether the requirement is a single badminton court in a society clubhouse or a large multi-sport arena in a commercial development, the team handles design, material supply and installation as one complete package.

Premium Sports Court Flooring for Every Game
Modern societies and commercial complexes rarely build for just one sport. Fitnext Sports Infra supplies and installs flooring for the most popular indoor and outdoor games:
- Tennis Court Flooring: built for long-lasting durability, true ball bounce and superior grip, and suited to schools, clubs, societies and sports complexes.
- Basketball Court Flooring: synthetic acrylic surfaces designed for UV resistance and all-weather durability.
- Pickleball Court Flooring: for one of the fastest-growing sports in the country.
- Badminton Court Flooring: engineered for speed, grip and control.
- Volleyball Court Flooring: for schools, clubs and community grounds.
- Multipurpose Court Flooring: one surface that supports several sports.
- Skating Rink Flooring: for recreational and training rinks.
- Running Track Flooring: for campuses, academies and sports complexes.
Pickleball has taken off in India, and many societies and clubs are converting existing spaces or building new courts for the sport. For societies with limited space, a multipurpose court is often the most practical answer, since one well-built surface can host badminton, basketball, volleyball and more. The flooring has to be right for every sport played on it, which is why material selection and installation quality carry so much weight.
Acrylic Synthetic Flooring: Weather-Ready Performance for Outdoor Courts
Outdoor courts face sun, rain and constant foot traffic. Acrylic synthetic flooring is widely used for tennis and basketball courts because of its UV resistance and all-weather durability. It gives players a consistent playing surface and keeps its finish over time, which suits societies, schools and commercial sports parks that want an outdoor court to last.
Rubber and EPDM Flooring for Gyms, Play Zones and Recreation Areas
Sports facilities in societies and commercial projects go beyond courts. Clubhouse gyms, children’s play areas, jogging paths and activity zones need surfaces built for impact and safety. Fitnext Sports Infra offers a full portfolio for these spaces:
- Rubber Flooring for gyms, walkways and recreational areas.
- EPDM Flooring for playgrounds, running tracks and outdoor recreation zones.
- Gym Rubber Roll for fitness studios and residential gyms, where free weights and equipment demand a hard-wearing, impact-absorbing base.
- EVA Rubber Flooring for cushioned activity spaces.
- Kids Fun Flooring and Puzzle Mats for children’s play rooms, where cushioning and easy installation matter.
These surfaces are designed for heavy foot traffic while staying comfortable underfoot and easy to maintain, which matters to societies that want low-maintenance facilities.
Indoor Elegance: Vinyl and Wooden Flooring
For premium indoor halls, clubhouses and multipurpose rooms, the company offers Vinyl Flooring and Wooden Flooring. These options suit developers who want a polished, professional look along with dependable playing performance. One customer, Pravin Kumar Sinha, credited the team with finishing his wooden flooring project on time and making it a fabulous experience.
Football Turf and Artificial Grass
Compact football and cricket grounds are increasingly common in urban societies and commercial developments. Football Turf and Artificial Grass let owners keep a green, playable surface all year with far less upkeep than natural grass. The range includes polypropylene football turf, shock pads and cricket turf flooring.
Customised Solutions, Not One-Size-Fits-All
No two projects are alike. A school playground has different needs from a luxury township’s clubhouse, and a corporate campus wellness zone differs from a professional training academy. Fitnext designs customised multi-sport courts, turf and landscaping solutions tailored to each client’s requirements. Its approach rests on four pillars:
- Expertise and experience: over 16 years of building world-class sports facilities that put quality, safety and performance first.
- Customised solutions: court and surface designs matched to the project’s brief.
- Sustainable practices: durable materials and future-ready sports infrastructure that reduce the need for frequent replacement.
- Fast delivery: a strong dealer network across India for quick, hassle-free material supply, which matters to developers working to tight construction schedules.
What Clients Say
Customer feedback points to the same themes: professionalism, punctuality and quality. Gourish Dahikar praised the team’s dedication, technical expertise and customer support throughout his project, and said he would recommend the company to others. Parvez Khan highlighted the quick response and installation ahead of schedule. Krunal Bhure said he looks forward to extending the business relationship on future projects.
Sports flooring is a long-term investment, so a supplier’s track record on timelines and after-project support matters as much as the specification sheet.
A Simple Checklist for Choosing a Flooring Partner
Societies and developers evaluating suppliers can start with five questions:
- Is the material fully tested and suited to the sport being played?
- Can the surface handle Indian weather, including UV exposure and rain?
- Does the supplier have a proven record of completed projects and independent recognition?

Choosing a Flooring Partner: What Societies and Developers Should Ask
Anyone planning a sports facility can use a simple checklist when evaluating suppliers:
- Is the material tested and suited to the sport? A tennis surface and a gym floor have very different requirements.
- Can the supplier handle weather and UV exposure? Outdoor courts in Indian conditions need surfaces built for sun and rain.
- Is there a proven project track record? Completed installations show real-world performance.
- What is the delivery and support network? Reliable supply keeps projects on schedule.
- Can the solution be customised? The best courts are designed around how residents and users will actually use them.
Fitnext’s combination of manufacturing experience, product breadth and nationwide supply network is aimed at answering exactly these questions.

Sri Lanka reach 265/8 at stumps, trail India by 238 runs
Sri Lanka closed Day 3 of the second Test at 265/8, still trailing India by 238 runs, after rain and bad light forced an early end to play in Colombo.
Rain and bad light forced an early end to Day 3 of the second Test between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo, with the hosts closing on 265 for 8.
Sri Lanka still trail India by 238 runs after 83.4 overs of resistance through the day.
Debutant Pasindu Sooriyabandara anchored the innings with a patient 80 off 133 balls, playing a key role in Sri Lanka’s fightback.
Sooriyabandara anchored the innings with a patient knock, combining with Kamindu Mendis in an 87-run stand before the partnership was finally broken just before lunch.
Sonal Dinusha played a counter-attacking innings lower down the order, registering his third consecutive fifty-plus score in the series.
Useful contributions from Keshara Nuwantha and Lahiru Kumara in the tail helped Sri Lanka clear the follow-on mark before bad light and rain brought an early end to the day’s play.
With the second new ball due, India will be eager to wrap up Sri Lanka’s remaining two wickets quickly when play resumes, aiming to force an innings advantage.
The match, being played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, is the second Test of the series, with India already holding a 1-0 lead following their win in the series opener at Galle.

Pasindu Sooriyabandara hits maiden Test fifty on Day 3 in Colombo
Sri Lanka’s Pasindu Sooriyabandara struck an unbeaten 65 to reach his maiden Test half-century on Day 3 of the second Test against India in Colombo.
Sri Lanka’s Pasindu Sooriyabandara struck his maiden Test half-century on Day 3 of the second Test against India at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo.
Sooriyabandara reached fifty with a single off Ravindra Jadeja, going on to remain unbeaten on 65 off 93 balls with 9 fours at lunch.
It is only his second Test appearance. He made his debut as a concussion substitute for Dinesh Chandimal during the first Test in Galle on August 18, after Chandimal was ruled out with a neck and shoulder injury sustained while fielding.
That debut made Sooriyabandara only the fifth player in Test cricket history to win his maiden cap as a substitute, following Brian Mudzinganyama, Khaya Zondo, Matt Parkinson and Bahir Shah.
India had earlier declared their first innings at 503 for 9, built around a maiden Test century in Sri Lanka from Dhruv Jurel, before reducing the hosts to 130 for 4 at lunch through two breakthroughs from Prasidh Krishna.
Sooriyabandara’s composed knock has helped steady Sri Lanka’s innings after the early loss of wickets, with the match evenly poised heading into the afternoon session.
His first-class record coming into the series stood at 4,893 runs from 68 matches at an average of 54.36, including 14 centuries and 23 half-centuries, reflecting a consistent domestic batting record before his international call-up.
The concussion substitute rule allows a like-for-like replacement to be brought into a Test match when a player is ruled out due to a head or neck injury, subject to approval from the match referee.
India go into this Test holding a 1-0 series lead after their win in the series opener at Galle, meaning a strong showing from Sri Lanka’s middle order is important to keep the contest alive.
His composed batting on Day 3 has been seen as a promising sign for Sri Lanka’s middle order depth, coming as it did under pressure after early wickets fell.
