Shivam Dube - Power with Purpose

Best BPCL Sportsperson (Male), 2024-25

For Shivam Dube, being named Best BPCL Sportsperson
(Male) for 2024-25 is more than an accolade, it is a
reminder that his hard work is leading him in the right
direction. “It felt really good,” he says. “Personally and
professionally, I’ve been working very hard, so getting
this recognition from my own company was a proud
moment for me.”
When his name was announced, the feeling was unlike
any other. “Receiving a trophy from your organisation
for what you’ve achieved hits differently,” he shares.
“Meeting all the BPCL athletes at the event was
wonderful. It made me realise how much BPCL is doing
to support sports.”
Looking back, he credits much of his strength to the
support of his father. “He never allowed negativity
to reach me. We always focused on getting better
instead of worrying about selections. Joining BPCL
was also a turning point, it gave me stability and the
freedom to express myself.”

Known for his incredible power-hitting, Shivam
believes that strength must be guided by discipline.
“Power can work against you if not controlled.
Discipline and strategy help you understand when to
use it. That’s where consistency comes from.”
For him, improvement is built on small, everyday
habits rather than big changes. “There will always
be doubt and pressure, but you can’t stop because
of that. You have to keep working on the areas where
you struggle.”

When it comes to handling pressure on the field, his
approach is simple: preparation beats fear. “If you’ve
trained well and your fitness is strong, you don’t think
about pressure, you think about the shot you need to
play. Staying in the present moment is the best way
to stay calm.”

From power-hitter to match-winner, Shivam’s journey
reflects a mindset shaped by discipline, self-belief,
and constant growth. His message to young athletes
is clear, stay positive, work hard, and improve a little
every day; the results will follow.
