Our Mission

Founded in 2019, AMAZN HQ’s intention has consistently been to create sports heroes by championing their trailblazing stories in order to inspire & propel change for the next generation. 

Through transformative and first-of-a-kind media coverage, community-building events and identity-driven athlete marketing, we create new & honest narratives that will open up pathways for success and recognition for the world’s largest ethnic group. 

We’re building the platform that millions of athletes before us dreamt of and millions in the future will root dreams from.

AMAZN HQ IN THE PRESS

Meet the Founder

Pranav Iyer is a Bay Area native who was a former college football player. Growing up, he took the deepest dives into the internet to find any Asian college and professional athletes he could look up to.

After years of feeling isolation in his journey through sports as an Asian American, he began his journey through journalism. Through that, he began to discover untold stories about our community's sports trailblazers and find people his own age who had similar athletic aspirations. He realized that those narratives he was once told about how Asians can't have success in sports simply weren't true. The issue was in the lack of storytelling around their journeys.

So in December of 2019, he sought to change that narrative and create the inspiration platform he wished he had when he was growing up. He picked up a camera, started showing up at athletes' games and thus, AMAZN HQ was born.
