We get scared of what the society might say, we bring in a million negative probabilities that could stumble us down, and so, often we just limit our dreams because of things that aren’t even a major problem!The spirit of #WinLikeAGirl has been embodied through these daughters of India. Their stories have inspired a generation and have truly transformed India into a strong female sporting nation.In the modern era of sport, the role of corporate\/brand becomes essential to enable the athletes, by identifying the right talent at the right age, and by nurturing that talent to make it competitive against the best in the world.From training infrastructure, diet, support staffs, brand management the support of brands and corporates is imperative for the development of athletes, and that has been the success story with the emergence of key corporate players and brands willing to back athletes.However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more that corporate brands and their partners can do to level the playing field for India\u2019s athletes. Programs like the IndusInd Girl Power Program are committed to advocating the cause of women’s access to sports education, so that women and girls across the region have every advantage to advance and becomes future Olympians; future success stories in the Indian sporting worldWith companies like IndusInd  Bank willing to share their support for Indian female athletes, using athletics as a medium for skill acquisition, girls across the region have every advantage to grace the podium, a testament to their athletic prowess to #WinLikeAGirl.Share This:"}
