What is the story about?
Rishabh Pant has been taking a hands-on approach to understanding his finances, revealing that he has been studying the stock market and taking classes for several years.
The 28-year-old said that his growing interest in businesses and investments has opened up a new area of learning beyond cricket. “As you keep growing with time and exposure, you understand there is more to life,” Pant said that at the business of sports podcast. “Opening up my thought process about learning about businesses, learning about different interests in my life, family, friends, I think this is one vertical which has opened for me. For me, it’s very fascinating; I get to learn a lot.”
Pant said that his interest in the stock market is particularly linked to understanding how companies are managed. “For me, the stock market is interesting on the management side. There is so much study that goes into investing in companies, and I’ve been studying a lot for a few years now, taking classes, learning about how to invest,” Pant said. “If you’re putting your hard-earned money somewhere, you have to feel that from inside.”
Pant is now looking beyond investing and said that he wants to explore different sectors and turn ideas into actual businesses. “I’m opening myself up to different ventures, to start investing, creating opportunities, rather than just being a consumer all the time,” he said.
One area that has caught his attention is adventure sports, particularly in Uttarakhand, where he grew up. Pant said that the idea is still at an early stage, but that he sees opportunities in the state. “The idea is in the early stages, but I’m looking forward to doing a lot of things around it, starting from where I started my life: my birthplace, Uttarakhand,” he said.
Alongside his commercial ambitions, Pant said that he wants to bring greater structure to the work of the Rishabh Pant Foundation. He said that the foundation has so far supported people on an individual basis, including with medical and educational needs, but that he now wants to create a model that can reach more people.
“As of now, I want to put a structure so I can scale it up and help more people,” Pant said. “Especially my hometown, where I come from, the state of Uttarakhand, there’s so much in my heart that I want to give back, and I will start from there.”
Pant also said that he sees an opportunity for athletes in India to move beyond traditional endorsement-led commercial relationships and create businesses and products of their own.
“I’m really open to working on that, because I want to keep adding stuff to my life rather than subtracting,” he said. “I really want to give some time to opening a business, discussing how an idea can turn into a real business, and getting the work done.”
