Key strengths:

• Passion for developing engaging sports content for fans and communities

Motivated and adaptable professional seeking to build a career in sports management. Backed by a master's degree in sport management and hands-on experience in media consulting, business development, and event organization, I am eager to apply my analytical, leadership, and strategic skills to contribute meaningfully to sports organizations. Dedicated to continuous learning and growth within the industry, with strong interest in harnessing cross-disciplinary knowledge from business and media to support the evolving landscape of sports management.

I hold a Master of Science in Sports Management from Troy University, Alabama, USA (2023), where I built a strong foundation in sports administration, event management, marketing, and analytics. My academic journey at Troy gave me global exposure, allowing me to work closely with basketball and American football events on campus, while also presenting research on Indian football at an international sports conference in London. This experience sharpened my ability to combine academic theory with practical, real-world sports operations.

Before that, I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing & Mass Communication (2019) from Pandit Deendayal Energy University, India. This program helped me develop communication, brand management, and media skills—areas that directly complement my sports management career. I also captained my school basketball team and represented my district and state in football during this time, further blending my academic and sporting interests.

My schooling years at Delhi Public School, Vadodara (10th Grade) and Bharatiya Vidya Bhavans, Vadodara (12th Grade, Science & Mathematics) gave me a disciplined academic base, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Alongside academics, I actively participated in inter-school sports, debates, and cultural activities, which shaped my teamwork and leadership qualities early on.

Together, these academic milestones reflect a balance of sports passion, business insight, and communication expertise, which I now aim to bring into sports management, media, and editorial roles.
