An investor in the failed technology firm PlayUp, which counted Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull among its shareholders and lost close to $100 million, has resurrected the company's strategy to launch a fantasy sports business across Asia.

Sam Jones, the chairman of Singapore-based Talent Lab Software and an investor who lost money in PlayUp, will this week launch Ballr.com in India.

John Stensholt is a former editor of the BRW Rich 200 and Young Rich Lists.
