Sport unites all of us, whether you play it professionally or you play it in your backyard, whether you are working within the sports industry or you work within any other industry of your choice, if you have passion for a particular sport, like to consume it on your television or any other device, then we are all part of the same community.
Sports and Berries is a platform to showcase some of the incredible stories from the world of sports. Initially started with just the blog, we are soon coming up with our very own podcast series, as it will help us connect more with our community.
The sports industry in India is at its very beginning and not a lot of information is easily available to anybody interested to work in the sports industry, and through our blogs and podcast, we hope to bring light to some of the key information that will help you to understand the industry better and make better decisions.
We invite all of you who share the same passion for sports as we do to join us on this journey of knowledge sharing, building a conscious sporting community, and having a lot of fun while doing so. Happy exploring!
Meet the Founder:
I started Sports and Berries as a medium to express my thoughts about everything that I love about sports and to grow a conscious community of people who share the same passion as me. Whether I’m playing a sport or watching it, it draws me in completely and that’s the time when I can truly get in touch with myself. This is exactly the kind of content you can expect on this platform. Everything I share here has a personal touch to it and is curated with lots of love and humor and I hope it adds to your knowledge about different sports too.
Growing up, sports were always part of my everyday routine in some or another way. One of the earliest memories I have with sports is related to the ICC cricket world cup in 2003 when India lost to the mighty Australians in the final and I remember I couldn’t stop crying after the game. I was seven back then and had very little idea what the game meant for everyone but for me, it was an instant connection. Eventually, I started feeling the same passion for all the other sports that I tried or watched on television. Even though I was always good at studies, with sports I always felt more at ease and never had to force myself to watch or learn about them since everything came so naturally.
I am always eager to learn about new sports and every time I do, I feel like a new world has opened up in front of me. While growing up, I never realized that there could actually be a good career in sports apart from playing at a professional level. Starting with cricket, I have tried my hands at badminton, karate, football, basketball, skating, and many others at a good-enough level growing up and eventually, I found my true self while playing tennis. I have been playing tennis for almost 8 years now and though I started a bit late, I have competed on a competitive level a few times and continue to do so.
I was pursuing my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science during which I had to spent some time away from playing any sport and couldn’t even practice my tennis, and that’s when I realized that something was missing in my life. That’s when the thought of doing something in the sports industry came up and after a lot of discussion and research, I decided to pursue a master’s degree in Sports Management.
Right from the start of my MBA, I realized that the information available about the sports industry in India is very limited and though many people are passionate and want to do something, they lack clarity. The idea to start something like Sports and Berries was always there but as they say, ideas don’t work until you do. So, one day I decided to finally work on making it a reality and here we are. I hope all the content that I share on this platform will help you and encourage you to be a part of this beautiful sporting community.
