In a developing nation like India, how would you define the importance of sports?
We launched this campaign at the beginning of this year called ‘Let There Be Sport.’ The fundamental message that we want to give India is that there are a lot of merits in taking up sport in any shape or form – be it as a professional, or as an amateur. Sport is an extremely important aspect of any developed country, and for us to progress as a country, it is very crucial. We need to have all genders participating, across all disciplines. It has to be a wholesome development and not just a one-discipline sport.
