The Next Big Thing
2008 marked a turning point for Indian sports. The first-ever "individual" Gold won by an Indian at the world's biggest sporting event, the Beijing Olympics by Abhinav Bindra, inspired the nation's athletes and sports enthusiasts. Another trigger for the fast development of India's sports business was the launch of
the Indian Premier League in the same year. The yearly athletic league produced a novel, distinctive ecology that called for expert administration off the pitch to
support the efforts made by the players on the pitch. Numerous sports leagues have been founded as a result of the IPL. In turn, this helped the idea of sports management. The quickly changing sports sector needed experts who could handle and manage backend operations of events or competitions, including finance, marketing, hospitality, facility management, event management, content development, and many others.
Did you know that the Indian Premier League's backend team—that is, the managers comprised of over 22,000 professionals? India now hosts up to 15 different sporting events each year in addition to more than 1100 marathons. Imagine the amount of labour this industry would need!
India is no longer a country with only one sport, as evidenced by the growth of numerous sporting leagues and the popularity of sports like Badminton, Shooting, Football, and Wrestling, to name a few.
The sports sector is expanding by 15% annually. (data from DataPOWA)
By 2024, the country will require 4 million Sports Management specialists.
