Himani Mor, former tennis pro and spouse of two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, is charting a new path—one that deviates from the courts and embraces sports entrepreneurship. Around mid-August 2025, it was revealed that she has decided to quit professional tennis entirely in order to focus on launching her own venture in the sports industry. This major career pivot comes shortly after her marriage to Neeraj Chopra earlier this year.
Notably, Himani even rejected a ₹1.5 crore U.S. job offer in the sports domain, choosing instead to invest her talents in building something independently meaningful. According to her father, Chand Mor, this decision underscores her commitment to entrepreneurship and long-term impact in sports management versus short-term financial gain.
An impressive academic profile backs her decision: Himani completed a degree in Political Science from Delhi University, then went on to earn qualifications in Sports and Fitness Management and Human Resources from Franklin Pierce University (USA). She also has experience working in the U.S. as an assistant coach and part-time team manager.
This bold move comes at a transformative moment in her life—post-wedding and alongside Neeraj’s intense training phase in Europe. While Neeraj prepares for upcoming international competitions, Himani’s choice signals her desire to establish her own legacy beyond tennis, grounded in leadership, business acumen, and a vision for shaping the sports ecosystem.
