Marketing / Strategy Intern

Sports have been an integral part of my life since first picking up a tennis racket at the age of 4. I played in the Indian tennis circuit at all levels before being awarded a full-ride scholarship to play Division I tennis at Morgan State University while attaining my B.S in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduation, I decided to pursue my passion for sports in the business world and applied for the Sports Product Management program at the University of Oregon. After 4 terms, I've gained more interest in product management and look forward to using my experience and passion for sports, and tennis in specific, to make a positive impact in the sports industry.



I was Kreeda’s first international intern. I was also the first intern from the SPM program to work at Kreeda.  My time in Sri Lanka, landed me four main projects. I reported directly to the Director of Kreeda (Nike Account)

 Project 1 - Licensing / Global promo Speed to market:

Kreeda is involved heavily with global promo and Licensing ( Wrestling, NCAA, NFL) products. The licensing calendar is much shorter compared to the regular calendar (RTL). Licensing products are mostly carry-over styles from the main categories.

Project 2 - Seam-less business model: 

Seam-less business for the Kreeda division is been on the low for quite a while. I was involved in the team that created a new business model to fill the capacity of seam-less facilities. During this project, the team came up with 2 different variation of business model

Project 3 - Long Range Plan (LRP) 

Since starting the Kreeda division, MAS has certain goals for 2025. I was involved in validating, forecasting and suggesting new business ideas. One segment of this project was to help increase categories for Nike. Kreeda did business with Nike in 4 main categories. They wanted to expand to show to the world that they are a global manufacturer. They wanted to prove they are one of a kind.

Project 4 - Innovation 

Kreeda was trying to get ahead of the curve and pitch new innovative products to Nike. My task involved in researching new market gaps, consumer behavior and ideation that could help Kreeda achieve their goal.


I coach high-intensity athletes (4.0 players, young aspiring tournament players, and competitive players) on an hourly basis. At the moment I have five students, that I coach personally. I am also a hitting partner to competitive players trying to take their game to the next level. I run high-intensity drills and help students with game-play and technique.

Three members from Morgan State University formed JSS Solutions LLC. All three forming members have an undergrad degree in Electrical Engineering.

JSS provided a service to small start-up and business to better understand their consumers. A computer software (Sentiment Analysis) was created that assesses data from user experience from the social media platform (Twitter), and categorize them as positive, neutral and negative to improve service or a product. This software ran on the platform R.

 The dictionary helps to rate the tweets positive, negative or neutral. 1 - 4 is negative, five being the absolute neutral and 6-10 being positive. The tweets are also geo-tagged. The software will create and display all the locations of the tweets on a live map.

 There are other features available such as the live heat map, thermal mapping and a word cloud is also accessible. The outcome of this project was the formation of an LLC. Our first client, Shirley’s cafe was obtained. The cafe rated a 7 / 10 on the software, reflecting a positive response towards the business
