IISM Student - Siya Sawant, Rising Sports Star of India!

Sometimes we discover our strength unexpectedly. Like I have mine.

My parents were all jumbled up with me being a four-year-old hyperactive kid at home. In this scenario, hobby classes always help to channel your energy in the best way. I tried many but finally settled with Rhythmic Gymnastics. And the sport and everything about it had me fallen in love with it in no time. I have found my passion, love, and strength, all in one sport, and thus began a journey from a hobby class to a National team of India.

I began participating in many tournaments and won several accolades. In 2018, I bagged a Silver medal in Khelo India, and also proudly represented my country in the 16th Junior Asian Championships in Malaysia.

In 2019, again I represented India in the 11th Senior Asian Championships in Thailand. In the same year, I qualified for the World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships too.

Being an athlete, behind the scenes of sports always interests me. Specially, sports psychology. The well-being of mental health plays a crucial role in an athlete's performance in the game, I deeply believe. That's why I have chosen IISM to study Sports Management further. With an idea to create great value in the sports business I, Shriya Kulkarni aspire to achieve all the dreams that I am determined to make true.
