“More people now feel their kids can make a career in sports given some of the outstanding role models they have on the sporting front like Sania, Saina, Sindhu, Srikanth,” pointed out Gopi. “Corporates have a great responsibility to contribute to sports as it provides a platform for them to propagate their brand values and also help gifted talent,” he said.
