Sasikumar is a former international soccer player turned sports entrepreneur. Having played over 35 times for Singapore, he scored the winning goal in an international tournament that was the first ever international title for the island nation. He also won several domestic titles with all the clubs he played for in Singapore. Sasi as he’s known to his family and friends, he moved to Australia to pursue a career in Sports marketing upon his retirement from professional soccer where he was exporting Australian sports excellence to India.

During the course of his time in Melbourne Australia, Sasi managed former Australia cricket legend Gregg Chappell which saw him land the role of the Head coach of the Indian cricket team, a role referred as the ‘Second most important job” after the Prime Ministers in cricket mad India. Sasi started a sports marketing agency called Red Card Global in 2005 offering athletes management services and sponsorship marketing for his athletes under contract. A year later, Sasi was head hunted by Japanese advertising giants Dentsu Singapore to set up their sports division to manage their blue-chip clients like Canon, Panasonic and Toyota.

The deal ended up becoming the biggest TV and commercial rights in Asia when it was sold for USD$450million to media conglomerate MP Silva.
