As I entered a new phase of life in XIMB, I was apprehensive that the rigour of an MBA curriculum would get the better of me and my love for the game. To my surprise, I not only learned to make time for the game, but I also found like-minded people, who eventually became my teammates and took off on an exciting new journey altogether.
In my first year representing XIMB, our basketball team toiled hard and finished on the podium at every single tournament we were invited to, with a couple of gold medals to show for it. As we enter the second year, now with the additional responsibility of my captaincy at hand, I aim to replicate the success and comradery that we had and take it to the next level.
My journey at XIMB so far wouldn’t be as fun without the game and my goal, post my MBA is to continue on this exciting journey. At XIMB, I aim to arm myself with skills that would help me start my own sports management firm someday and help me fulfil my dream of a sports-loving India - one where a child could pick between being a manager at an MNC or a national level hockey player, and live with no regrets.
