About

I’ve been an ex-All India ranked lawn tennis player who actively played lawn tennis at the National and International level; my achievements in lawn tennis have brought in many laurels and trophies to my school, college and myself. With the professional guidance and my dedication I managed to get a nationwide recognition. At the junior level, I was one of the most recognized and known lawn tennis player in India. I also played football at the centre forward position representing my school.

Success is not the destination, it’s just a journey, and that's the thought I live my life by. Honesty, perseverance, discipline, sincerity, humbleness and grit are not just mere values for me, they are some principles I apply to both my personal and professional life. Being an international tennis player has embedded in me a desire to succeed against all odds. Journey from being an athlete to founder of Sportnicians - The Sports People has helped me achieve varied heights of success and has also assisted me to grow and prosper both personally and professionally. With Sportnicians - The Sports People I aim to fuel the dream of every individual of staying connected to sports which are lost in the daily hustle bustle of life.
