I breathe sports. And have been playing one or other sport all my life. Started with very "Indian" sports like Cricket, Kabaddi, Kho-Kho. Moved on to Soccer. Found my true calling in Badminton roughly 12 years ago. Since then, started competing in Dutch circuit competitions and tournaments. I am a naturalized Dutch citizen and have a business background. Marketing and Technology are two other aspects that give me a solid kick. Sport N Socialize is all an effort to truly fuel the passion of sports. Very lucky to have a like-minded, sometimes fanatic but a very innovative team at Sport N Socialize club. All of us work hard in promoting sports and develop talent for Nederland.
