Sports have always been more than just games—they're lessons in discipline, teamwork, and resilience that extend far beyond the playing field.

More than a game

Abhyudaya Yadav's session "Hoops & Hopes" explored how sports shape character and open unexpected doors. His journey with basketball taught him lessons that no classroom could—about handling pressure, embracing failure, and celebrating small victories.

The business of sports

What makes Abhyudaya's story unique is how he merged his love for basketball with business acumen. Pursuing an MBA while staying connected to sports, he showed students that passion and profession can coexist beautifully.

Starting your journey

"It's never too late to start," Abhyudaya emphasized. Whether you're picking up a ball for the first time or rekindling an old passion, the important thing is to begin. Sports teach you to show up, day after day, regardless of the outcome.
