ABOUT US

MISSION

To enable sporting excellence and build a champion mindset through our programs and interactions.

VISION

To build a strong sporting community by nudging the athlete to become not just a better player but a stronger and a socially conscious individual.

Nudge Sports is dedicated to empowering athletes for consistent peak performance and mental wellbeing. We prioritize the ‘fine margins’ of success, focusing on mental conditioning as integral to training. By refining the 5 mental muscles—motivation, confidence, intensity, focus, and mind state—we ensure athletes perform at their best.

Our impact extends beyond sports into corporate cultures where peak performance is crucial. Nudge Sports adapts the sports model to assist executives in high-pressure environments, acting as a ‘nudging’ catalyst for improved decisions about health, happiness, and wealth.

More than a training program, at Nudge Sports, we aim to be the driving force behind individuals and teams making optimal decisions for peak performance, both on and off the field.

Amit Gadkari

With over 27 years of leadership spanning India and the Middle East across an impressive portfolio including global brands like Montblanc, Villeroy & Boch, Fila, and Marcolin Eyewear, Amit has held key roles at RPG Group, Reliance Industries, Marico, and Renaissance Group.

Beyond the boardroom, Amit is an active cricketer with a background in age group cricket and badminton for Mumbai. A seasoned executive, avid reader, blogger, and cycling enthusiast, he maintains a keen pulse on global sporting landscapes.

Amit’s dedication to mental health in sports is evident through his role as the CEO and founding trustee of Cricketers’ Foundation, a sports philanthropy trust (www.cricketersfoundation.org).
