About Bobby Singh

B.P. "Bobby Singh", an alumni of the prestigious St. Stephen's College, pursued his management studies at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. Twice Delhi University and St. Stephen's Tennis Captain he was also a former Junior Tennis champion and winner of several Zonal and State championships. In order to pursue his dream to produce Wimbledon champions he returned to his first love - tennis - thereby giving up a lucrative career in the corporate world as a senior Regional Product Manager in Tata Steel where he excelled in Management and Marketing. With a vision to offering professional tennis opportunities in India, he founded the Peninsula Tennis Academy to unearth and nurture talent.
