Vivek Sethia, the founder and CEO of India on Track, recently discussed the Indian Super League’s (ISL) pyramid structure and the state of the league on his YouTube channel Breaking Sports with Vivek Sethia. 

The premise of the ISL, how investments are made, its structure (comprising the league, the youth academies and the grassroots framework), and the future of the ISL are all covered in the video.
