The best part? This isn't a one-off story.

At IISM, students don't just learn sports management. They experience it.

"I don't think I would get this kind of experience at any other institute."

For Anurag Mukherjee, a Bachelor of Sports Management student at IISM 🎓, the last three years have been much more than just lectures and assignments. 📚

From celebrating Ethnic Day, Sports Day and the vibrant energy of Junoon, to becoming a founding member of Stumps & Sixes, IISM's student-led podcast page, every experience added a new chapter to his journey.

"Masterclasses are something I really want to talk about because they opened my mind."💡

At IISM, we believe learning goes beyond the classroom. Through interactions with industry leaders, hands-on projects, and practical exposure, students gain insights into the realities of the sports industry.

Anurag's journey reflects exactly that.

From interning with Formula 4 Chennai and ITW to earning a PPO as a Business Development Executive, where he now works on marketing platforms across India and international markets, he transformed classroom learning into career success.🏁

Because when education meets experience, opportunities follow.

[iismmumbai]

You learn theory in an institute.

But experience? You're usually expected to figure that out yourself. Not at IISM.

Take Aryaveer Katyal, a second-year Bachelor of Sports Management student at IISM. 🎓

While learning sports management in the classroom, Aryaveer was applying it on the ground during his internship with BookMyShow for the TATA WPL 2026. 🏏

Data collection. Vendor coordination. Operational execution. Budget tracking. Timeline management.

All in a day's work. 💼 Sounds stressful? Maybe.

But Aryaveer was busy having fun while doing it! 🤩 That's exactly what IISM prepares you for. 💯

At IISM, we train students to handle real-world pressure with confidence and precision, long before they step into the industry. 💪

So when opportunities like the TATA WPL come along, they're ready to deliver.

If you want an education that goes beyond theory, join IISM.

What does a day in the life of an IISM sports management student really look like? 🤔

Meet Dayakar B., a Master of Sports Management student at IISM, who interned with the Baroda Cricket Association during the TATA WPL 2026 in Vadodara, Gujarat. 🏏 🏟️

From branding and accreditation to guest relations, stadium operations, logistics, and ensuring everything worked seamlessly, Dayakar experienced first-hand what it takes to deliver a world-class sporting event.

With multiple responsibilities across different functions, Dayakar had his hands full, gaining valuable exposure to the fast-paced world of sports event management. 📈

But when you do what you love, the effort never feels the same.

Taking on every task with enthusiasm and a smile, Dayakar turned each responsibility into an opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute.

And that's exactly the kind of passion we groom at IISM.

Experiences like these help our students understand the business, operations, culture, and energy that power the sports industry.

Ready to make your day look like Dayakar's? Join IISM.

“Physical literacy is the base on which long-term athlete development is built.” 🧠

In an exclusive conversation with IISM’s podcast page Buzz Behind Sports, sports health researcher and consultant Manasi Satalkar breaks down what Indian sport still gets wrong and what we need to get right.🎙️

Focusing on the critical research gaps in athlete development of the Indian sports ecosystem, she highlights where the next generation of professionals can step in and make a real impact.

The message is clear: if India wants stronger athletes, from grassroots to elite, we need more sports science professionals who truly understand physical literacy.

Because performance isn’t just built in the moment. It’s built from the base up.⚡

Every student's journey is special. But sometimes, it's the parent's journey that says even more. 🥹❤️

There was a time when Aaryan Ugale's (a Bachelor of Sports Management graduate) mother wasn't sure about Sports Management. 📚🤔

Today, she's one of its proudest advocates. From hearing questions like "What does your son do in sports?" to confidently replying, "Do you watch matches on TV? 📺 Behind every match is a big team. My son (Aaryan) is that team." That transformation says everything. 😊

Aaryan once dreamed of becoming a professional footballer. When an injury changed that path, he found a different way to stay connected to the sport he loved. Today, he's building his future in the sports industry as a sports management professional. 💼

But this story isn't just about a career. It's about a mother who trusted her son's passion, embraced a new possibility, and now proudly watches him create his own place in the world of sports. 🌟

At IISM, some of our most meaningful moments aren't just when students succeed. They're when parents begin to see sports careers with pride, confidence, and belief.

To Aaryan's mother, and to every parent supporting a dream that's a little different, thank you for believing. 🙏

“He did a lot of internships and projects along with his studies, and that is something he learnt from IISM,” says Nirav Trivedi, brother of Rajman Joshi, a Bachelor of Sports Management graduate from International Institute of Sports & Management. 🎓

From complaining about his introversion to seeing his transformation into someone who actively takes up opportunities and networking, his brother felt immensely proud. 😊

When asked about why Sports Management and Why IISM, he answered by saying this: "Firstly, Compared to other countries, our country is behind and there are so many opportunities because of government initiatives! Secondly, IISM is a platform where I have seen my brother grow, a lot of opportunities, study-wise, it is Mumbai University affiliated and professionally a lot of doors have opened for him."

Sometimes growth looks like stepping out of your comfort zone.

Sometimes it looks like finding your place in the sports industry.

And that place is IISM.
