“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.

"અને પછી Institute [IISM] મા આવ્યા અમે, તે વકતે એકદમ homely feel થયુ", said Mr. Manish Baxi, a proud father of Yuti Baxi, one of our Master of Sports Management graduates from the Batch of 2025! 👩‍🎓

Mr. Baxi candidly appreciated IISM's course curriculum, faculty, peer students & how they maintain a homely atmosphere. This was crucial for them as Yuti's parents to be mentally ready to send their daughter from Vadodara to Mumbai and study Sports Management. 📖

He also highlighted how the blend of classroom teachings & practical exposure at IISM is really commendable. Mr. Baxi summarized his daughter's internship at the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup in Sharjah, UAE in a beautiful statement: "International Institute મા International Exposure!" 🏏 🇦🇪

He feels incredibly happy that Yuti has made the most of this practical exposure & successfully landed a placement via IISM at the Baroda Cricket Association.

“Whether it’s internship or placement aspect of it, there are ample opportunities ✨, and we could see that happening.”
