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.
