Sport is a significant part of our cultural, social and economic lives, and the management of sport in its many and diverse forms is an essential and exciting professional opportunity. The Indian Institute of Management Rohtak is to be commended for initiating this two-year specialised programme in sport management.

The IIM Rohtak Program in Sports Management is a very comprehensive and in-depth preparation for managers to contribute to the sport industry. The business of sport is a growing and dynamic field, especially in emerging markets, which demands professionals who are able to compete as strongly off-the-field, as the athletes do on-the-field. Through my involvement in this program, I have seen the next generation of India’s sport business leaders develop the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and networks required to be more successful.
