About Sports Policy & Governance Consulting
Why We Do What We Do
Every day, we see how tough it is for athletes to break through. Talent is everywhere, but so are the hurdles. Har ek player ki journey itni easy nahi hoti (Not every player’s journey is easy). We go beyond just supporting athletes - we’re working to change what stands in their way.
How We Shape Change
Our advice on sports governance reform in India comes straight from the field, not just meeting rooms. We build our recommendations on what we learn through hands-on work with athletes across the country. If we push for something, it’s because we’ve seen the gap ourselves.
- Use real data – like our menstrual health tracker or wellness program outcomes
- Focus on what’s practical, not just what sounds good on paper
What We Focus On
Athlete protection policies are at the heart of everything:
- Health and wellness: pushing for real support, including mental health and menstrual health in sports plans
- Safety: fighting for tougher anti-harassment systems and gender-sensitive rules
- Financial basics: helping athletes understand contracts and rights
We’re big on gender equality in sports administration, too. We keep asking tough questions (ladkiyan bhi kuch kar sakti hain? - Can girls also do something?) and back up the answers by fighting for more women in leadership and fair treatment for female athletes.
We also help make sports bodies more transparent and bring Indian sports governance closer to global standards.
Real Impact
Like our work in Bihar – leading policy change for female athlete wellness, using three years of our own grassroots experience and data.
What Drives Us
Our end goal is simple: a fair, world-class sports system where every athlete gets a real shot. Wohi asli jeet hai (that’s the real victory).

My Story
We started Simply Sport with a simple idea - sports is more than medals. Bahut saare bachche hain jo akela struggle karte hain (so many kids struggle alone). We saw girls dropping out, no one talking about periods or nutrition, just 'lose weight' bol diya (just told to lose weight). We wanted to change this. Now we run workshops, share real stories on 'Blue Rising', and even help shape national sports policy. For us, real success is when every athlete, boy or girl, feels strong inside and out.
My Work
What We Do - Workshops on mental health, menstrual health, sports nutrition for girls, grants, career programs, and 'Blue Rising' vodcast.
Athlete Well-being First - Not just about winning - we make safe spaces for athletes to talk, ask for help, and grow.
Backing Female Athletes - Menstrual health workshops, nutrition support, and smashing barriers so girls can thrive in sports.
Grassroots Sports Support - We partner with local groups, giving training, gear, and real chances to young talent.
Real Athlete Stories - Our 'Blue Rising' vodcast shares honest journeys, struggles, and wins of Indian athletes.
