Reincarnating Raipur
Meet Ajitesh Bhattacharya, an Event Manager by profession and cricketer by heart from Raipur.
He has been a sportsperson since childhood. He played cricket professionally since the age of 10. Other than that, he played football nationally and took part in state-level competitions in swimming, table tennis and athletics. Since there was no stability of cricket as a profession in Chhattisgarh, they had to go to Madhya Pradesh for selections. It was a tough process, as MP already had their players as well. He went to play at Ganguly Academy in Kolkata too.
When he found this, he thought of doing Event Management after getting inspired by watching shows on television. After studying for a few years in Disha College, where he also was sports captain, he went to National Institute of Event Management in Pune for his graduation and post-graduation. He also got a scholarship for an international diploma from a university in South Australia which only ten students out of 200 received.
He is doing event management for 8 years now and is working with Pune based global company called Sphinx, as a senior manager in marketing and business development. He handles the north region (Delhi, Gurgaon and Jaipur) for the corporate events. He says that CG doesn’t have much scope for corporate events as of now and thus want to continue working in Sphinx until he sees some opportunity here. He also did a blood donation camp with Salman Khan. He describes it as the best moment of his Event Managing Career.
Other than all of this, he likes singing and used to do sketching and drawing as well. He has a limited number of friends as he likes to confine to them only, and most of them are still into sports. Though he dreamt to play for India as a cricketer someday, he admires what he is doing now.
Happy birthday to this great personality.
