Although I learnt a lot on-the-job about the sport industry working for sports industries like IMG after graduating with a business degree at Mumbai university, I knew I needed more insight to achieve my future ambitions and Loughborough was the perfect university to build upon my knowledge and prepare me for the future.
The international development, sport Integrity, and Politics in Sport modules were very insightful, teaching the different ways and methods adopted in order to develop sports, both locally and on a global scale. The sport integrity module also helped me in understanding the different integrity issues present in the sporting world and also how to tackle those issues. I also enjoyed the Sports Marketing module, which gave insights into the marketing strategies followed by different clubs and leagues, as well as how brand communication plays an important part for the sport organizations.
Loughborough has over 60 sports facilities which I definitely made the most of during my time here. I played around 11 sports a week which I feel is my major highlight outside the course and helped me perform better academically, keeping my mind and body fresh. The sports facilities here in Loughborough are some of the best in the world and as a professional cricketer, I was really impressed by the top-class facilities for the sport here, including the ECB performance centre.
