In the media - Autocar India, January 2006 The Other Team India
There is one more ‘Team India’ doing the A1 GP rounds. Only this one’s behind the scenes.
Changepondsport is a Chennai-based IT firm which runs A1’s website (www.a1gp.com) and its media accreditation system.
One of the unique features it has developed for A1 on the Net is the live streaming of the race in countries where television coverage is not available. This application has geo-targeting to ensure only people who log in some certain countries get to see the race in entirety.
The complex A1 media accreditation too, which is supposed to set different levels of track access for different media persons, has been etched out by the Indian company.
“We are also the preferred IT partners for world football body FIFA” says Changepondsports’s Karthik Ramakrishnan.
