Harsha Bhogle Speaker Profile
The Voice of Indian Cricket, India's Best Known cricket commentator and journalist.
IIM-A alum and former Rediffusion ad man Harsha Bhogle has been called “the voice of Indian cricket” -- he's India's premier cricket commentator and columnist. Beloved for his insightful patter, he writes a weekly cricket column for Indian Express and interviews top cricketers on ESPNStar's Harsha UnPlugged. A review in the Indian Express called Harsha Bhogle the voice of Indian cricket and that is a description that has stuck. He gave up a career in management to devote himself fully to cricket and has achieved a fairly regular international presence as a writer and on both radio (with the ABC and BBC among others) and television. He has been the front man for the telecast of live cricket into India on ESPN and Star Sports for several years now and also writes extensively on the game.
Harsha was voted by Gentleman Magazine as one of “50 men you want to know better” and by Outlook as one of eight people who have changed the way their profession is perceived. Has also been the subject of special profiles in India Today, The Week, Cosmopolitan and a very large number of other publications. He was featured by BBC World in their series “Face to Face” on Young Achievers. Harsha has also won Hero Honda ‘s Indian Television Academy award twice and the Ceat Cricket Ratings award , both awarded to the best television commentator and presenter. He has also recently been presented the Rajiv Gandhi Award for outstanding work in the media. In an internet poll in Australia in 2003-04, he was voted the best commentator across radio and television. When ESPN Star Sports wanted to launch a talent search, they thought it would achieve legitimacy and appeal if it was called “Hunt for Harsha” for he has now become synonymous with his profession. The Hindustan Times, in a recent feature, called him “the greatest icon of cricket commentary” and in a reader poll he was voted the most popular commentator.
He's been the front man for ESPNStar cricket telecasts from the day they launched in India. Now he has taken to the corporate lecture circuit with his wife and business partner, Anita, applying the wisdom of the game to help companies develop compelling business strategies.

The Winning Way , a lecture series from Harsha & Anita Bhogle shows how learnings from the field of sport are universally relevant and how they can be applied to improve our approach to life..
In this series, two IIMA alumni , the husband and wife team of Harsha and Anita Bhogle discuss how champions and champion teams handle issues like team building, leadership, vision and goal-setting. What do winning teams do, what makes winning teams, who are good leaders, why do only some teams keep winning while others win only for a while and then lose…these are some of the topics that this popular corporate lecture series addresses. A management background combined with a ringside view of sport over the last 20 years is what goes into these sessions.
