New Delhi: Roopam Harish Sharma took over the charge as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Basketball Federation of India (BFI); she replaced her husband Harish Sharma, who was at the helm of BFI until his sudden demise last month, first as secretary-general and then as the CEO.
Roopam’s appointment was decided by the steering committee members of the BFI, who voted unanimously in her favor at the annual general meeting.
On her appointment she said, “I will carry forward the unfinished tasks of my husband in improving the standards of basketball in the country as passionately as he did.”
“What Harish did is very difficult to replicate. But we in the BFL, will strive hard to complete all the provisions he envisioned with the same sincerity and dedication,” she added.
