Ishraque Gulrays: I’ve always been inclined to sports from a very young age. First Football and then, around the early ’90s, the wonderful sport of tennis caught my fancy and I was immediately drawn to it
My supportive parents soon began searching for a coaching institute and my father finally found one in Bhavans College and enrolled me there.
Tennis came Naturally to me. Within 6 months, I began playing tournaments and within a year, I was playing state-level tournaments. Later became the U-14 champion and was among the top-ranked players in Maharashtra, the top 20 players in the junior category in the State and in the top 50 in the country. Later became the captain of the Mithibai college tennis team and was the vice-captain of the Mumbai University team. I went on to win a lot of competitions and bought home many laurels, before I was compelled to give up a profession in tennis due to lack of sponsorships, at the age of 21.
Life took over and I got engrossed in the daily hustle-bustle of life. However, as it is said that, what is meant to be, will be. Finally, after I started a family came a time when I had to nurture another baby.
I left my well-paid job for sports and decided to join back the Industry, I successfully got an opportunity to manage twenty different sports in Goregaon Sports Club which opened a huge pathway for sports for me. I learned a lot about sports and management of various sports while I worked as the Head of Sports Management at the club. In 2016 I decided to start on my own: Sportnicians – The Sports People.
We aim to help you reconnect with the hidden sportsperson in you. Our services include Sports Coaching, Sports Event & Tournaments, Sports Facility Management, and Sports Infrastructure among many others.

I believe that everyone should listen to their heart and follow their passion because even if you face hardships, in the beginning, you’ll surely reach your goal and love whatever you’re doing. It is all about the leap of faith and the journey.

Ishraque Gulrays is the founder of Sportnicians, a one-stop destination for all sports for everyone. They provide coaching, sporting equipment, merchandise, conduct events and adventure trips & much more.”

“My ultimate aim is to make India a sporting giant. We always talk about India’s failing Olympics but never talk about what we have done to improve it. India is a country of 1.3 Billion people, we don’t lack the talent but lack the good infrastructure, facility and training. We’re not giving them a proper stage to showcase their skills and some of their dreams destroyed due to politics behind the scene. I want to make sure we can do something to change that.” says Ishraque

“We make sure that we have the right set of coaching, values, and training. When we conduct a tournament, training session & event’s, we put ourselves in other people’s perspectives and how they’d like it. We also adopted a Never Say No Policy, We’d always try to find alternatives to accommodate ourselves to their request.”

Ishraque attributes his success to his family, as they’ve supported him during his difficult times when he had nothing. There is nothing more important than family in your life.”
