Episode Synopsis "Becoming a Sports Agent In India: Abhishek Sharma"

Most people are passionate about something or the other, but very few actually end up turning their passion into a career. Abhishek Sharma, did exactly this. After working at various companies and organisations, including a famous Bollywood star's agency, he realised that his true passion lies in athlete representation. He set out to create his own sports agency, Athletes Today. The only problem, as he quickly discovered, was that it's quite difficult to set up an agency and to establish yourself in the sports industry. After facing many hurdles, losing money, draining all his saving, things took a turn for the worse, when his business partner quit. But Abhishek was determined and convinced that he could make it and grow his business. Within a few months, he turned his fortunes around and become one of India's youngest successful sports agents. He now works with some of the top Athletes, Clubs and Brands from around the world.
