Siddhi Sethi

Batch of 2024 – 26

Since a very young age I have been into sports. Sports has been a very crucial part of my life, in which I have learnt to be Dedicated and Determined towards my goals. Before starting off my MBA in Sports Management journey, I completed my graduation in B.Sc. Sports and Exercise Science. While pursuing this I was looking forward to doing my Post Graduation in Sports Management. I came across many options of colleges offering Sports Management. But Somaiya offered a 2-year Post Graduation in Sports Management with placement opportunities. The faculty has a very strong network in the sports industry which helps to offer Internships to students within the Semester to gain experience and knowledge in the industry. In addition, frequent guest lectures and industry visits have helped the students to grow their network as well. Somaiya aims for the students to transform together and help them achieve their goals.
