The Association for Sports Industry Professionals (ASIP) on Tuesday announced the formation of its founding management board, which will steer the organization towards achieving its vision of driving excellence, innovation, and inclusivity within the sports industry.
ASIP was founded earlier this year by the former All India Football Federation (AIFF) general secretary Shaji Prabhakaran, a visionary leader in the sports industry. ASIP operates under the Khel India Sports Foundation (KISF), a not-for-profit organization with the mission to promote sports at the grassroots level and empower women in sports. The organization aims to enhance the professional growth of its members and contribute to the development of the sports industry at large.
The board includes Prabhakaran, who serves as the president, and Neeraj Jha, who has been appointed as secretary general. Comprising 15 distinguished professionals from diverse sectors of the sports ecosystem, the ASIP management board reflects a rich blend of expertise, strategic insight, and a shared passion for advancing the sports industry.
The tenure for all board members will span two years. The board’s first meeting this year is scheduled for May 3, where crucial agendas will be discussed to shape the roadmap for ASIP’s forward journey.
Speaking on the occasion, Jha said: “We are thrilled to introduce the inaugural ASIP management board, which brings together exceptional leaders from across the sports ecosystem. This team of seasoned professionals shares our commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth in the sports industry. Together, we aim to elevate the impact of sports in society and build sustainable, value-driven frameworks for the future.”
