Dr. Santosh R S
Dr. Santosh R S, an academic achiever, was a merit rank holder of the State Scholarship Exam and is currently the CEO of GMV India Pvt. Ltd. In his school years, he realized the Importance of Sports in life and in shaping a dynamic personality. That is when he took interest in games; lost, failed, persevered, learnt and won. Today, he actively plays cricket, football, badminton and is a marathon runner. Dr. Santosh was always inclined towards management which leaned further when he went to a B-school. While he studied all the management concepts, it dawned on him that watching or playing sports was nothing but management. He drew parallels between his life (personal and professional), his education and sports. This book is the product of this process.

In his career spanning two decades, he has been honored with the “Young Entrepreneur Award with Gold Medal” by IISD, New Delhi, and also, the “COVID-19 Warrior award” by the Hon Governor of Government of Maharashtra.

Dr. Santosh accepts life’s challenges with open arms; just one of the lessons he learned from sports. With a desire to pass on his learnings, he has attempted to write his first book, “The SPORTS CLASS THINKING towards BUSINESS SUCCESS”, to simplify management from a sports angle.
