Influenced by the 2000' Kargil war and the Sydney Olympics Debacle in 2001, he studied and implemented a Grass Roots Development Sports program in 2003, conducting 500 Football matches in Pune, under the name Future Vision Sports. Christened by this experience, he went to Switzerland to do a Diploma in EEG and Brain Conditioning, where he learnt and fell in love with the study of the brain.

Also, helped him identify his 'Variation Triggers' to quickly access his bowling variations, whenever he chose to.
