Ready for your
Second innings?
India’s sporting ecosystem has grown by leaps and bounds in the last couple of decades, but life for the thousands who give their mind, body and soul to play for India still remains a challenge once they retire from active sport.
Second Innings is an initiative by Pine Labs, in partnership with Natekar Sports and Fitness that seeks to attract, nurture and enable meritorious sportspersons who have retired or are on the cusp of retiring from an active sports life, with a sustainable full-time work opportunity.
As we co-create your career path at Pine Labs, you will also receive all the support needed to acquire relevant skills through exposure to desired experiences and other external focused training interventions.
