India has been a growing market for the last more then 7 years, many new things have come to the Country, good business sentiments everywhere, therefore, Corporate world Employees also thinking of becoming entrepreneurs, The thought of leaving a job to start a new business is appealing many professionals, many professionals have done just that in recent years.
This has become possible with the Policies of the current government, with digitization and making business simple , which entice most of the Professionals to become entrepreneurs, also easier access to expert business advice and tools for customer engagement that the internet offers, these days many professionals dream about becoming their own boss, They often envision the classic image of entrepreneurship, but this is also quite high risk proposition, it is also double edged Sword, for leaving a Full time Job & Starting afresh, from scratch, but if you have the Vision, Planning, determination, dedication and expertise of the field you venturing in to, then it becomes safe Gamble, in Today’s story.
I am showcasing the journey of one of such Star, Named Vishal Asthana, with 16 years of Work Experience in IT Industry worked with MNC-FIS in Gurugram, native of UP ,Dedicated and Established IT-Professional was not enjoying his white Collar job, in the year 2015, he decided not anymore, finally quit his job, with many dreams in his Eyes, but alongside reality of life , thrashed him initially, having a Middle Class background, not much to invest in the business.
Major issue was what business, as comes naturally to him, to Follow his Passion, a First Class Cricketer -Wicket Keeper- Batsman represented Rajasthan, decided to Follow his Passion, he discussed the same with his Pretty wife Sakshi- ( The Love of his Life ) with whom, he tied the Nuptial knot in the year 2000, after 15 years of marriage , he wanted to quit the Job and Follow his passion by Starting his Sporting Venture, Sakshi also supported him, since Vishal always firmly believed in “ WORK HARD, WORK SMART , WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR 100% RESULTS ARE BOUND TO COME, KEEP PATIENCE BUT KEEP GOING”
Finally Vishal Followed his dream in the year -2015 just after leaving his cozy job, started his own Sports Initiative named AVS Sports Management Services with limited Resources, he Started to Organise First Season of KPL-T-20 Corporate Cricket tournament, with 16 Corporates participating in this First Season.
He Really worked very hard for this, First Season, was Organised in Mohan Meakins grounds, he being a Cricketer, Followed the basic Promise of providing Players ,Good Dresses, Good food and amazing playing conditions,
KPL had been a thumping Success,, despite of huge competition in the Corporate Cricket Space, but with the Quality of Cricket & other elements weaved in in a perfect blend, KPL became the Choice of the Corporate players as well being a cricketer, Vishal’s Personal touch with Cricketers also helped him to get one team after the another, Each Corporate team appreciated the way KPL being organised, with Finesse of Class.
Today Even during the Pandemic , when there was no Cricket on ground, Vishal had to go quite a tough time with no events on ground, his entire income blocked, but somehow he kept his cool worked on his reserves with a strong faith everything will fall in place soon, during the Pandemic , he was in touch with each of his teams & Players.
After pandemic too Vishal never looked with initial issues, he has started KPL again with the 6th Season, today, he is proud Man with Top-60 Corporate Teams participating KPL.
His hard work, dedication never tiring approach gave his 2 lovely Daughters -Jayati & Sukansha guarantee of a secure Future, Proud Father Vishal feels elated with the success of KPL, he never looked back after leaving FIS job, He has shown to his competitors & Peers that, if you have right will, dedication to Achieve milestones with purity and honesty, then no one can Stop you.
I have personally met Vishal many times always smiling Yaaro kaa yaar, a Super Human being, having dare to take Risks in life , never afraid of hard work, he is a true Sportsman in its every sense.
I am sure KPL season -6 will be thumping Success with all Leading corporates , like ICICI, HDF,FIS, SAMSUNG, BAJAJ, AXIS BANK & many others.
We wish KPL Season – 6 a Great Success.
