Neeraj Chopra’s Vision for Vel Sports Management
OUR STORY
WHO WE ARE
VEL Sports Management was founded with a singular purpose to transform the landscape of athlete representation and unlock world-class opportunities for sports talent across the globe. Conceived as an initiative by Neeraj Chopra — India’s first Track & Field Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion — the company reflects his belief that every athlete deserves the right support, strategic guidance, and a professional ecosystem to thrive.
Neeraj’s own rise from a small town in India to the pinnacle of global athletics is a testament to what disciplined mentorship and the right resources can achieve. Through VEL Sports Management, he aspires to reshape how sports is viewed in India, shifting it from a limited career choice to a powerful avenue for international success. His vision is to help athletes access opportunities that were once out of reach, and to build a system that empowers them to compete with the world’s best.
Today, VEL Sports Management stands as a symbol of professionalism and purpose, representing elite athletes across multiple disciplines and continents. Guided by Neeraj’s values of integrity, perseverance, and innovation, the organisation remains committed to nurturing talent, elevating performance, and redefining India’s presence in global sports.
