About Techfront

Technology Frontiers (India) Private Limited, operating as Techfront, is an integrated technology and solutions provider specializing in arena management for the sports, entertainment, and media industries. Founded in Chennai, India, by Manapakkam Muralidharan Srinivasan and Asha Muralidharan, the company was officially incorporated on November 20, 1996. M.S. Muralidharan, the Managing Director, has guided the company in becoming a global player in sports technology.

The firm's business model centers on delivering end-to-end technological infrastructure for live events, with a significant focus on cricket. Revenue is generated by providing proprietary hardware and software solutions, sponsorship management services, and data analytics for sporting events and entertainment venues. A landmark achievement was in 2008 when Techfront was contracted by the Indian Premier League (IPL) to deploy a massive network of LED screens, electronic scoreboards, and over 900 meters of LED perimeter systems, marking one of the largest digital technology deployments at a cricket venue worldwide at the time. This highlights their capacity to manage large-scale, high-profile projects for clients like the International Cricket Council (ICC), for whom they provided services for the T20 World Cup 2020.

Techfront's service portfolio is extensive, covering both hardware and software. They manufacture and install various LED display systems, including large video screens, perimeter advertising boards, and electronic scoreboards. A key offering is their integrated software platform which manages content display, scoring, and fan engagement features. The company has also developed specialized products like the 'Direct Decision Display', an advanced 3rd Umpire system, and real-time electronic scoring displays along boundary ropes. Beyond hardware, Techfront provides analytical services that help sponsors track the value and impact of their advertising during events. This combination of physical installations and data-driven services allows them to offer a comprehensive solution for modernizing sports arenas and enhancing the spectator experience both in-venue and for broadcast audiences.
