About Me
I represented India in swimming at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. I am one of only three Indian male swimmers who have represented India at the Olympics since 1956 (the other two being – Khazan Singh Tokas at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and Sebastian Xavier at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics). I first swam for the Indian Senior team at the 1993 Dhaka SAF Games when I was just 14 (making me the youngest participant at the Games). I was the National Champion in the 200m Freestyle for 4 consecutive years (1996-1999; even though I was the fastest in the year 2000 I did not swim the Senior Nationals due to personal reasons) and held the National Record (aka Best Indian Performance) and the SAF Games Record in this event for 6 and 7 years respectively. I have received numerous awards for my achievements in the pool. I completed my Electrical and Electronics Engineering from B.M.S. College of Engineering, Bangalore and worked with Tata Consultancy Services Limited for close to 5 years. I am the co-founder and Director of GoSports India Pvt. Ltd. (http://www.gosports.in), a sports career management and consulting company headquartered in Bangalore, India.
