Hi Prashant,

Sports Management is relatively new to B-schools in India. However, the inception of IPL and leagues in other sports including hockey, badminton, tennis, kabaddi etc., opportunities in the sports sector have grown manifold. The global sports industry is worth over $480 billion and the Indian sports industry is close to $ 48-50 billion currently. Sporting goods industry alone provides employment to more than 5 lakh people in India. So, the opportunities in the sector can be imagined in the near future. A professional programme in Sports Management is an opportunity to turn your passion for sports into a profession.

As the programme is relatively new, there are very selected colleges/institutes which offer this specialisation. Here are some of them:

SDM Institute of Management Development
