About me: An ardent Golfer, I have been privileged to be one of the top amateurs in India early in my career. Inspired by my uncle and my brother who loved playing Golf, I was always keen on the sport as a kid and took up the game seriously in 1980. I was a regular on the Asian Tour and turned professional only in 1992. Currently, I am the CEO of Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), which will become an ‘Open Tour’ in 2018.

The PGTI had a limit of a maximum of 15 foreign players in each tournament till date but now there will be no such restriction on foreigner earning their cards through the PGTI Qualifying School.

Memorable Golf moment: For me, my first victory at the PGI Championship of India was my most memorable Golf moment. Interestingly, I won a car and the joy then was truly unlimited. My domestic titles also include two wins each at the Honda Siel PGA and the Surya Nepal Masters, as well as wins at the BPGC Open, Meerut Open and The Hindu Open, among others.

One thing I would like to change about Golf: I do not want to change anything about the game, but I would definitely want to see it become as popular as cricket.

My dream four-ball: Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Greg Norman and me!

Fave Golfing destination: It has to be Scotland as it’s an absolute delight for golfers.
