Meet Yogesh
Most only dream of having a career that they also consider their passion. For Yogesh, he has been able to carve out two. It has taken years of hard work and dedication, but Yogesh was able to established a successful career as a IT Consultant working with top financial and business clients across industries. But he didn’t stop there. He also became the first Indian football sports agent in the world.
Growing up Yogesh loved to tinker with everyday objects. He would modify his bicycle to get it to ride faster, he would design intricate forts for him and his friends to play in, he would see something like a clock radio or a television and want to take it apart and put it back together so he could really understand how it worked. This curiosity lead Yogesh to his first career passion in programming.
Yogesh learned to code different systems with various programs. He began helping his college peers upgrade their desktops. Starting out on his ZX Spectrum, he never imagined he would one day be working with well-respected, fortune 500 companies in the heart of London.
But Yogesh had another passion: football. Before Yogesh, there had never been an licensed Indian football sports agent, but that didn’t discourage him. He became the first Indian licensed agent in the world, a major accomplishment for himself and for the industry. Yogesh went on to sign prominent footballers such as Sunil Chhetri and Michael Chopra, and he continues to seek out the best talent in hopes of signing them to some of the greatest football organizations in the world.
Today, Yogesh continues to act as a sports agent and consultant. He is incredibly proud of his career so far and excited for all that lies ahead.
