Adil Sethi

Senior Manager, Business and Content Strategy, Bell Media and former GATE MBA Fellow

A former professional athlete, sports advocate, and business executive, Adil has had a long, fruitful and diverse affiliation with sports. His experiences include franchise and athlete management, sports marketing and more recently plying his trade in the sports betting and online gaming industry. Adil has been an ardent advocate of equality in sports. It was his time as a sports agent to some of India’s top women athletes, when he witnessed first-hand, gender-based discrimination and disparity in the sports industry. This is what gave rise to his research, as a GATE MBA Fellow, that focused on assessing the biases that exist around corporate sponsorship in women’s sports and how they can be overcome. A Rotman MBA Graduate from the Class of 2019, Adil took on multiple leadership roles that included President of the Rotman Negotiation Club, VP-Industry Relations for the Rotman Sports Business Association and co-leading the WiMen pillar of the Women in Management Association at Rotman. He was included in the “2019 MBAs to Watch” list by renowned graduate school publication, Poets&Quants.
