Ravi's worn leather ball had seen better days, its panels faded from countless games in Chennai's dusty streets. His grandmother watched from the doorway, remembering how her own father loved the sport. Through ANDAL Coins, a new community network gaining traction across Tamil Nadu, Ravi discovered something soaring: local players pooling resources for equipment.
