Great discussing the EduSports case study (Ivey Publishing) with the 2nd year students at Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta last week - as part of the Marketing elective course 'Sports Marketing and Management' (SMM) for MBA 2nd year students in the 6th term of this academic year (2024-25). Great set of questions and analysis by the students. Thank you Prof. Chandradeep (CD) Mitra & Prof Suren Sista for your kind invitation and facilitating a great conversation. This case study was written by Vijay Krishnamurthy (co-author of Get Kids To Play ) & Prof Ram Subramanian (Stetson University). Sportz Village

‘Holistic education through sports’ is not a marketing jargon; it is what we see and truly believe in 😊 Sportz Village Get Kids To Play Summit completed another successful chapter in Mumbai on December 13, following the enthusiasm of earlier editions in Pune, Delhi, and Chennai. The summit united school leaders, parents, corporates, philanthropists, youth, and policymakers, who equally believe in the power of sport, to tackle a critical mission: getting more kids to play and getting kids to play more. Get Kids To Play Summit - we believe - shall serve as a springboard for change, for having sparked meaningful conversations and inspiring collaborative solutions to address the need for play in children’s lives! 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: • Balancing sports and academics by fostering support from parents and educators. • Creating a nationwide culture of play, where sports is an integral part of every child’s life. • Encouraging female participation and addressing barriers girls face in sports. • Strengthening grassroots and school sports as a foundation for nurturing talent. • Empowering parents to navigate their child’s sports journey effectively. • Bringing more coaches into the system to make sports accessible. • Exploring the role of CSR donors and brands in driving lasting social change through sports. The most memorable conversations came from the children themselves, who shared heartfelt stories about how playing sports transformed their physical, emotional, mental, and academic growth. The event concluded with the #Playmaker Awards, honoring individuals and organizations who have championed the cause of getting kids to play. A big shoutout to our incredible panelists, partners, and participants for making this summit a roaring success. The journey doesn’t end here. Do you have a role to play too?
