Introduction
With 30+ years experience
With 30+ years of experience as a sports fan, from Athletics to F1 to NBA to Golf, and 10+ years of hands-on experience in the Sports business field, I have a wealth of experience that I can use to help others in the sports field grow and achieve their potential by becoming a mentor.
My first exposure to sports was managing Sportstar’s advertising campaigns back in 1991-92. After that period, In 94, In Sharjah, I signed my first sports sponsorship deal at the Asia Cup cricket tournament.
As Head of Sales and Marketing at Sterling Grand – Greater Noida (now Jaypee Greens), I led the team that conceptualized and built India’s first-ever integrated Sports and Leisure complex with Golf courses designed by Golf legend Greg Norman. In January 1996, I hosted him for a day.
Sports Mentorship
My areas of interest in mentorship include entrepreneurship, sports management, and marketing.
I believe in a hands-on and personalized approach to mentorship, where I can share my experiences and offer guidance to help my mentee achieve their goals. I also value open communication and the exchange of ideas, as I believe that mentorship is a two-way relationship.
My ultimate goal is to empower my mentee to reach their full potential and make a positive impact in their respective field.
