Sports have shaped who I am from my early days as a badminton player and a swimmer to becoming an entrepreneur and now a professional committed to transforming the global sports business landscape. My journey took a big step forward when I founded a badminton academy in India, fueling my passion for grassroots sports and athlete development. To strengthen my expertise, I pursued a Master’s in Sports Management (2019), adding a global lens to my hands-on experience. Over the past six years, I’ve worked across the sports and fitness industry, driving business operations, partnerships, and innovation at startups and established brands. At Cure.Fit and Fitternity, I scaled operations, launched virtual wellness programs, and built partnerships with 100s of fitness and sports centers across India, while also collaborating with some of India’s top fitness influencers to expand reach and impact. Now, as I pursue my MBA at IE Business School in Madrid, I’m focused on taking this passion global. Leading the Sports Business Club, I’m working on projects around fan engagement, athlete wellbeing, and the integration of AI in sports business exploring how technology can create meaningful impact for athletes, fans, and organizations alike. My philosophy blends action, creativity, and purpose. Living by the playful acronym ADIDAS — “All Day I Dream About Sports”. I’m eager to connect, collaborate, and share insights with others passionate about the future of sports. Through Topmate, I offer practical guidance to students, athletes, and aspiring professionals navigating their next steps, supported by tools I’ve created like the Career Coach for Sports Business GPT and SportScholar app, a global database of sports courses.
