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 mission is to groom these Sport Managers - equip them with knowledge and required skills to thrive in this sunrise
