Hi Jaydeep,

I really appreciate the results you are tracking on your blog. I run a sports management company - GoSports India (www.gosports.in), which is based out of Bangalore.

We have started an online forum - The Indian Sports Network (www.indiansportsnetwork.com) - to bring everyone in the Indian sports fraternity together. I invite you to join it and give your feedback as it is still under development.

Regards,
Hakim
