VOLUNTEERING ACTIVITY
IISM students volunteering _at_ MAHARASHTRA STATE
OLYMPICS 2022-23
IISM believes that in the sporting industry,
knowledge cannot be gained by being confined
within the four walls of the classroom. Hence,
IISM takes the students out of the classroom and
into the field for volunteer opportunities,
where they learn the best. To help them
understand the challenges a sports management
expert faces while executing a mega event, IISM
sent 19 students to volunteer at the Maharashtra
State Olympics 202223. Of the total 19
students, 12 were deployed in Pune and 7 were
deployed in Mumbai for the basketball leg of the
Maharashtra State Olympic Games. The students
were assigned numerous tasks, which they executed
?awlessly. These included looking after the
athletes' accreditation, managing the crowd and
VIPs during the opening ceremony, completing the
awards ceremony, assisting in the torch relay
event at the Gateway of India, event operations,
transportation of the athletes and sports kit
distribution. Everyone praised the students for
their diligence and commitment to their work.

PROUD WINNERS OF IISM
FOOTBALL TEAM AT PARAKRAM'23
Football has always played an important role in
our students' lives. From volunteering at the
FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar to winning football
matches at sports festivals, our students have
always taken advantage of every opportunity to
stay as close to the football field as
possible. It was therefore a no-brainer for them
to participate In Parakram'23, a sports festival
hosted by Nirma University's Institute of
Management (IMNU), and give it their all. Our
football team defeated IMNU in the final football
match at Parakram'23. During the match, the
students demonstrated their superior football
skills and defeated the home team 6-0. Such
victories motivate them to continue competing in
more fests and improving their game.

spoke about how the kids should embrace new
challenges and seize all available
possibilities. He also said that the students
would only discover their ideal field by looking
into fresh alternatives. We appreciate Mr.

RISING SPORTS STARS OF INDIA
IISM students breathe sports and are staunch
sports enthusiasts. Our students come from
various ?elds of expertise as well as are active
sports players from club, state, national and
international level. Here are some of our
students who are no less but rising stars of
India. Agnes Jeena Cricketer Isn't life about
metamorphosis? Seeing dreams and then turning
them into reality. One such transformation
happened in the life of the IISMs second-year
student Agnes Jeena. She has set an example of
passion and dedication for she got selected to
represent the Mumbai University Team at such a
young age. Here Agnes Jeena is sharing her
experience, inspiration and journey I always
liked sports but when I was 14 when I started
developing a crazy passion for cricket. My
biggest inspiration to get into cricket is AB De
Villiers. Cricket helped me to develop a lot of
crucial skills like patience and critical
thinking. It taught me that it's not always
about winning but having the preparation and will
to win. I started by playing for my school when
I was in 9th STD under my coach Mr Rahul Giri and
now I represent the RG Girls Cricket Club. Being
a sports enthusiast, I decided to make my career
in the sports industry and explore what happens
behind the scenes of a sporting event, and that's
when I found out about IISM. IISM is where I got
the opportunity to begin my bachelor's degree in
sports management and learn in-depth about the
sports industry.
You can read about journey of our students on
IISM's social media platforms. More stories to
come.
