Few would have really known about Viren Rasquinha, until he had been assigned as the COO of the Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) Foundation. Though the fact that he has led the Indian Hockey team to the Olympics, his newly gained position has surely brought him to the limelight.
Hailing from a country where people are more worried about their job security, this passionate player’s decision to quit the game at the age of 28 still when his playing was at good standards and join The Indian School of Business (Hyderabad) does give him a dignified impression of high maturity and ideal sportsmanship. Armed with a Management Degree this former Indian Captain does spring out to be a man full of surprises with his decision to work for the OGQ. Having founded by Prakash Padukone, Geet Sethi and Niraj Bajaj who are great personalities in the field of sports and business, OGQ aims at identifying budding talents in India and train them out for fruitful medals at 2012 Olympics. Rasquinha does want to make the people realize that earning a medal at Olympics is not like a cakewalk and the pressures and training that one has to undergo to reap the fruit of success is beyond our imagination. Working on the initial phase of fund raising, the OGQ has already spotted some talents and has started training them. Gagan Narang the current record holder in shooting, now under the OGQ, seems to give them a bright hope of gold at 2012 London Olympics. If OGQ does stand against all odds, there is a sure hope for every talent across the nation to find its place!
