The command of Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) has now come into the hands of a young face. At the age of just 29, Mahaaryaman Scindia has become its youngest president. Mahaaryaman, who belongs to the royal family of Gwalior, comes from a family active in both politics and sports. His father Jyotiraditya Scindia is a minister in the central government, while grandfather Madhavrao Scindia has also been the president of MPCA. In such a situation, this post is a symbol of new tradition and responsibility for his family.
Higher education and international experience
Mahaaryaman Scindia’s education has been very rich. He completed his schooling from Doon School, Dehradun. After this, he turned abroad and received a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Government from Yale University, USA in 2019. Not only this, he was also a part of the Summer School Program of the London School of Economics, where he studied International Relations and Affairs. This education gave him a global perspective and understanding of modern management, which proved helpful in his administrative and professional life.
Work experience in various fields
Maharyaman gained continuous work experience along with his studies. In the year 2014, he did an internship at the Gross National Happiness Center of Bhutan. After this, he also worked in the Finance Ministry of the Government of India. In 2015, he joined the famous auction company Christie’s in London. In 2016, he gained experience at UIDAI (Aadhaar Card Authority), SoftBank in 2017, and Macro Advisory Partners of New York in 2018. Apart from this, from 2019 to 2021, he worked as an Associate at BCG (Boston Consulting Group) in Mumbai. Later he joined family businesses and new startups. He served as the director of Undersounds Entertainment and Jai Vilas Palace and also launched his tech startups in 2022.
Deep connection with cricket and new role
Maharyaman Scindia has also had a deep connection with cricket. In the year 2022, he started as Vice President in Gwalior Division Cricket Association (GDCA). In the same year, he became a lifetime member of MPCA and in 2024 he started the Madhya Pradesh T20 League, which provided a new platform to the young cricketers of the state. His efforts show that he is not only a cricket lover but also has a deep understanding of its management. Now after becoming the MPCA President, there are great expectations from him that he will take Madhya Pradesh cricket to new heights. The special thing is that no special degree is required to become the President of the Cricket Association, but Mahaaryaman’s academic and professional experience makes him even more suitable for this responsibility.
