SPECIAL FEATURE

NATIONAL SPORTS DAY

MESSAGE FROM OUR SPORTS STARS

To mark National Sports Day, BPCL’s
sporting icons shared their thoughts on
the values that define both sport and
life. Their messages, rooted in personal
experience, resonated strongly with
BPCL’s ethos of discipline, teamwork, and
resilience.
 Saina Nehwal, Olympic medalist
and badminton legend, reminded us
that true success lies in persistence.
She emphasized that resilience and
the courage to never give up are as
vital in life as they are on the court.
 Jerome Vinith, India’s volleyball
star, spoke about the unifying power
of sports. For him, fitness is not just
about competition but a way of life
that inspires people to stay strong,
motivated, and connected.

 Joby Mathew, para powerlifting
champion, shared how sports
became his greatest strength. His
journey of overcoming challenges
stands as proof that determination
and confidence can break every
barrier.

 Pragyan Ojha, former India cricketer,
reflected on the discipline and
teamwork that sports instill. Citing
the legacy of Major Dhyan Chand,
he urged BPCL’s community to carry
forward the values of dedication and
collective spirit.
Together, these voices of inspiration
underline BPCL’s enduring commitment
to nurturing talent, encouraging wellness,
and fostering a culture where the spirit of
sports thrives across the organization.
As we celebrate National Sports Day,
we also celebrate every individual who
embodies this spirit, on the field, at the
workplace, and in everyday life. Because
at BPCL, every effort, every practice, and
every goal brings us one step closer to
excellence, together.
