We strive 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.
Enabling sporting excellence and building a champion mindset through our programs and interactions.
Humility, Excellence, Action and Respect. We HEAR you.
Positive mental health is important for everyone. It helps people focus on the goal and work towards that without distractions. We at Nudge Sports understand the value of the “fine margins” that define success. A new initiative as part of Nudge Consulting, Nudge Sports has been started to help athletes govern their mental state and psychological balance to consistently perform at the highest level. We focus on mental conditioning to help with self-awareness, improve focus, confidence and deal with distractions. Our objective is to make mental conditioning an integral part of the athletes overall training program.
By placing importance on the 5 mental muscles, namely motivation, confidence, intensity, focus and mindstate, we help them perform to the best of their abilities.
This mindset is increasingly relevant to the corporate culture too, where teams across all levels have to work in a high pressure environment. By replicating the sports model to help executives perform at their best, we play a ‘nudging’ role to help improve decisions about health, happiness and wealth. To be the “choice architect”; an influencer or a catalyst to help individuals and teams make the right decision.

He has worked with global brands such as Montblanc, Villeroy & Boch, Fila and Marcolin Eyewear along with stints at the RPG Group, Reliance Industries, Marico, Renaissance Group and other industry leaders. Amit is a passionate athlete having played age group cricket and badminton for Mumbai and continues to play cricket actively even today.

Amit is one of the foremost personalities to highlight mental health issues among athlete. As the CEO and founding trustee of Cricketers’ Foundation, India’s pioneering sports philanthropy and development trust, (www.cricketersfoundation.org), Amit initiated mental health training and conditioning programs for teenage Mumbai cricketers, both girls and boys. He drives this initiative with a leading sport psychology organization which works with elite athletes who have represented India at the Olympics in shooting, archery, wrestling and weight-lifting as well as Mumbai’s domestic and international cricketers. The overwhelming response to this initiative and the urgent need to address the growing issue of mental health among adolescent athlete and competitive athletes motivated Amit to launch Nudge Sports.
