Sports for me is a combination of Passion, Goals, Dreams, Strategy, Persistence, Relentless Training, Opportunities, Performance and Results to showcase talent but at the same time,sports also means losing or missing opportunities

This is the mantra Siddharth Deshmukh the head of Talent Representation and Sponsorships (ASMG) & khelNow CEO (Group company) follows for being a successful leader in the sports industry.

A computer science graduate followed by an MBA in IT, a Post graduate diploma in Human Resources (Symbiosis International University), post graduate diploma in Sports Management (College of Event and Media) and a certification diploma in Corporate Strategy & Business policies (IIT Bombay), Sid is a seasoned global business leader with 15 plus years of progressive experience across large corporates to early stage start-ups across Information technology, healthcare, BFSI & Sports.

While Siddharth’ s head says technology his heart screams sports. Sports is an integral part of his life, other than being a competitive athlete.

He first entered the sports industry with Kshatriya Sports in April 2013 who were strategic partnership consultants to the Indian Super League.

Sport is my greatest teacher, and it has taught me one important thing: “You can’t put limit on anything… The more you dream, the further you get…

What Siddharth got from the industry he also gave back! Being an alumni of the reputed Symbiosis University, Siddharth co-founded the MBA Sports Management course at the Symbiosis International University in September 2016. The MBA in Sports Management is a unique combination of business skills and sports. It will invariably seek to engender a well-rounded set of business skills laced with the kind of specialist knowledge that will prepare one for sports management jobs.
