Summary

With my experience of playing football at a professional level in England & Scotland, completing both an undergraduate and post-graduate degree in Business and work experience in the hospitality, retail and sports industry, I feel I have a very well-rounded and diverse skillset to succeed in any project that I undertake.

I also have very close personal relationships with several of India's big industrialists, corporate CXOs, Film Stars and Social Media-Influencers, which I can leverage to facilitate business deals.
