Bangalore-based Syed Sujjad Pasha conceived the idea of starting a cricket website to channel his love, passion and feelings for the game of cricket and to connect other like-minded people on the stage.
Hard at work, a tough nut to crack and cool out of Sujjad is the CEO and founder of CricTracker.
We have heard many stories of small-town boys on the grand stage.
There have been instances where unknown cricketers from lesser-known parts of the country emerged at the highest level and became legendary players of the game. The story we are telling today is off the cricket field, but the game was still the focal point.
For Syed Sujjad Pasha, youths desirous of failure in a little city of Kolar were not an option, and immense effort seemed the only way out with a distant possibility of success.
He decided to go the effort path and after more than half a decade is leading a highly successful, fast-growing Internet company that has 100 like him in various capacities, from full-time professionals to freelancers to other day jobs.
He Has employed more sports fans.
Sujjad, who worked as an IT executive at Liberty Shoes until 2015, was a cricket fan since early in his life. He particularly remembers the incident that started this campaign for him.
Syed Sujjad Pasha, who founded CricTracker in 2013, went to meet his inspiration Irfan Pathan, and he drew him to the second and most important chapter of his life so far.
Being the side-gig that could have taken over, CricTracker soon became a buzzword for Sujjad.
