India's Pioneer in

Sports Management Education

International Institute of Sports Management
Established in 2010, International Institute of Sports Management is India’s only of its kind dedicated sports management education provider, IISM is perhaps the largest
such specialised institute in entire South Asian continent.

IISM was conceptualized and founded by former India Test Cricketer, Mr. Nilesh Kulkarni.

We provide students and young professionals with an in-depth understanding of design and implementation of the evidence-based sports-specific training
interventions. Our comprehensive curriculum is a judicious blend of classroom learning along with field exposure to various sporting events, industry assignments,
conferences and live projects in the sports industry.

Our USP comes from our enviable industry patronage in the form of experts and professionals who design our curriculum, share experiential learning and explore the
possibilities of internships & placements for deserving IISM students.

At IISM, success is but a milestone that fuels our voyage towards the next level of value creation for the community

We offer three programs- Bachelor of Sports Management (BSM), Master of Sports Management (MSM) and Post Graduate Program in Sports & Wellness Management
(PGPS & WM)

• Bachelor of Sports Management: Three years full time Bachelors Degree Specialization in Sports Management & Sports Coaching from University of Mumbai

• Master of Sports Management: Two years full time Masters Degree Specialization in Sports Management from University of Mumbai

• Post Graduate Program in Sports & Wellness Management: 11 Months Autonomous Sports & Wellness Management Program

More than being just an institute, we have strived to become the movement that creates young heroes with the ability and agility to unfurl new prospects in the sports
sector and the business that surrounds it. The environment at IISM is so nurturing and fostering that it instils the spirit of initiatives, ingenuity and courage in each
student along with imparting classroom education and field experience side by side.

A sport like cricket, especially on a platform like the Indian Premier League, has paved the way for sportainment in India and continues to dominate the field; but newer
leagues like the PKL, ISL, PBL, HIL, PWL, various Marathons (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad) have further expanded the sports industry, making it a commercially
viable platform.
The GroupM and Sportzpower reports reveal that, in totality, the sports industry has grown by 10 percent - up from Rs. 43725 million in 2013 to Rs. 48069 million in 2015.

This growth has led to a demand of professionally trained Sports Managers who can organize, manage and administer various leagues, teams and sports organizations
efficiently and effectively.

At IISM our aim is to groom these Sport Managers - equip them with knowledge and required skills to thrive in this sunrise.
Vision and Mission:

Vision:
To be a key contributor in developing India as a sporting country globally; to be the catalyst in this
growth by being the Center of Excellence in Sports Management & allied areas of Education.

Mission:
To develop Sports Management heroes that would engage in representing India on a global
map in leading sporting events such as the Olympics, Fifa World Cups,
World Championships, Asian Games & major leagues.

To contribute in development of sports at grassroots level in India & Internationally

Founder-Director’s Message
Sports- The Sunrise Sector! The sports industry has witnessed a growth of 12 per cent year-on-year. While, FICCI’s Vision
document 2014 estimates a total requirement of 43.7 lakh human resources across the industry by 2022. While the numbers
clearly talk volumes about the opportunities that lie ahead, it’s interesting to understand the change that we’ve witnessed over
the last decade, owing to the influx of various sporting leagues like ICC World Cup T20, Indian Premier League, Pro Kabbadi
League, Indian Table Tennis League, ISL, Futsal etc.

These leagues have not just aided in the overall awareness of the sports but also increased the affinity towards it. The
consumption of sports on television has increased immensely, giving a further fillip to the development of sports in India. One
must not forget that this has thus, aided in making a middle class parent receptive to the idea of their children pursuing careers
in sports-a sure facilitator in the demand for sports management. However with growth, also comes responsibility. While, there is
no doubt that the sports industry is seeing an upward surge, it’s also signalling towards the need of professionals at various skill
levels, Sports Managers being crucial in the same.

In a short span of 8 years, International Institute of Sports Management, Mumbai (IISM), we’ve succeeded in carving a niche for
ourselves as the first professional Sports Management education provider of India.

Mr. Nilesh Kulkarni The field offers a pool of opportunities depending on one’s interests and the sector that one wishes to join. Whether it’s
Founder Director, IISM managing athletes, curating venues; managing and creating sporting properties; creating wealth and marketing of events or
developing businesses, etc. a specialization in Sports Management provides challenging as well as satisfying career avenues.

With its collaborative arrangements within the Sports Industry and global sporting industry icons as its advisors and supporting pool of visiting faculty from top B-Schools
among many others, IISM is an embodiment of underlying philosophy of ‘Global Mindset, Indian Roots’. The academic rigour of our curriculum is complemented by insightful
guest lectures delivered by personalities with a record of outstanding accomplishments in all areas of Sports Management providing a deeper perspective to the ideas and
practice of management to the students.

As an institute, we’ve always strived to break the stereotypes & create new paths for our students & the industry as a whole. I take immense pride in mentioning that in January
2016, IISM created history by producing India’s first ever National Anthem – Jana Gana Mana – sang by the leading sports heroes of India including – Bharat Ratna Sachin
Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Sania Mirza, Mahesh Bhupathi, Bhaichung Bhutia, Gagan Narang and Sushil Kumar. The anthem has so far inspired over 2.5 million (and counting)
hearts through social media and cinema halls!

Our classroom sessions go hand in hand with real-life, real-time exposure to various sport events, practical case studies and project assignments, thus offering you an
unparalleled experience of learning that enriches the rest of your lives.

This is your moment to shine, rise & set out of this journey of becoming the Jerry Maguire’s of the sporting ecosystem & represent India on the global map. Bon Voyage!
