National Sports Governance Act: India’s transformation into a global sporting powerhouse hinges on sustained, collaborative support across the government, corporate sector, leagues, sponsors, and the broader industry, says Olympian and Arjuna Award-winning table tennis player G. Sathiyan on Tuesday.

G. Sathiyan emphasised that reflecting on his career since age five, he noted how sports have evolved from an extracurricular pursuit into a viable profession and economic driver.

"It’s not just about athletes. For athletes to perform in the arena, you need a whole lot of people coming together. Athletes showcase talent, but they perform only when there is immense support from corporates and the government," said Sathiyan while delivering the keynote address at the ‘Giving Wings to Dreams’ Conclave in New Delhi on Tuesday.
