When on April 10, 1998; I started a website under the name of ‘The unOfficial Website on Indian Football’ which then would go on to become IndianFootball.Com, I would have never ever thought that I would be able to make a career in football and sports.
When I started IndianFootball.Com in April 1998, the idea behind it was simple, to learn how to use HTML to create a website while informing others about Indian football around the world. There were no sources or websites on Indian football news outside of three/four online edition of Indian newspapers.
I did not expect the interest and positive feedback from day one, despite it being difficult to get info’s sitting in Germany about football in India with no social media, VoIP, apps, etc around but there were friends, journalist colleagues and contacts willing to help.
This started my journey in football which has allowed me to be not only in online media, but writing for newspapers and magazines, working for television and radio; while continuing to go into other areas of work within football and sports like management, administration and consulting besides even coaching and getting to play for the FC Bayern Munich legends team in Kolkata in 2010.
As I look back at all that I have been able to do in football over these 25 years, I am thankful and will continue to work for the development of Indian football. I will never forget my football roots…
My journey in #IndianFootball started on this day – April 10, 1998 – 25 years ago launching IndianFootball dot com.
For me it has been hard work, passion & dedication to support & promote the beautiful game in #India through work in media, management, consultancy & governance. pic.twitter.com/yaVuR696m4

Football has taken me to countries, states and cities which I would have never visited or sometimes even known. It is work but work which I just love to do!
The rest as they say is history…
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey in football!!!
