Before she left the competition mat for the final time for the day, Vinesh Phogat turned around and looked straight at where the WFI officials were seated.



As she caught their eye, she pointed her index finger down at the mat.

🎙 Sportstar Editor Ayon Sengupta explains the driving vision behind Sportstar's Conclave caravan and what the team hopes the discussions here bring about in the states in focus:

🗣 "I believe, all of us together – representatives of state governments, sports administrators, coaches, former and current players, and the media – can brainstorm, and understand the current sporting ecosystem in this part of India. We hope these conversations will also help in further improving the system and help us in producing champions in every sport.

Based on today’s conversations and ground surveys, KPMG, our knowledge partner, and Sportstar will present a whitepaper on Sports Development to the State government and corporates in the state."
