Golf Blends Passion With Business Conversations

At BT Golf 2025–26, Mandeep Rathi, Fund Manager and CIO at UV Strategic Advisors Pvt. Ltd., and Rajiv Nayyar, Co-Founder and COO at Lightstrom Telecom, shared their advice for those considering the sport. Rathi said that if someone gives the game just three months, they are unlikely to leave it for the rest of their life, calling golf addictive, fun and peaceful regardless of physical constraints. Nayyar highlighted its professional value, noting that there is no better meeting ground than a golf course for business development, where spending nearly four and a half hours creates meaningful time with customers and prospects.
