“I think Decathlon has motivated me a lot to have a mindset to explore. We have 60+ sports, 6,000+ products, unless we use our sports’ products ourselves, we won’t understand how to use them and what are the benefits. When we practice our sports, we can then recommend better to others.” “Interacting with customers is very rewarding for me. When I suggest sport advice and the customer finds it useful, it feels really good that I could help people on their travel and adventures. My interest in trekking grew deeper after working closely with so many fun and useful products, and now I’m able to share my personal experiences when sharing advice. I'm working in #DecathlonSaltLake and we often organize workshops for those who want know more about trekking, backpacking, climbing etc. ” “I love to travel and explore. In my last solo trip, I took a bag from Decathlon, the Travel Backpack 500 Organizer 40L- https://lnkd.in/gTSsyGKY. One of the reasons I selected this backpack was because the compartments made it easy for me to organise and pack. I used it for a week long solo trip in Chennai, Auroville and Pondicherry.” “When someone comes back from their travels after using a product I recommended, and they tell me about how it helped them, I really value those moments.” - Tannistha Baral.

“When I landed in Paris, when I got to hold the torch, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.” - Saharul peada, Decathlon Azara, Guwahati. Among the torchbearers of the Olympic and Paralympic Flame, we have 8 Decathlonians - Saharul, Manuela Urroz Richter, Aminata Diene, Luo Li, Murielle Dujardin, Wael Koubrousli, Jacopo Gininazzi, and Barbara Martin Coppola. We’re happy to share the story of Saharul and how he got an opportunity to be a torchbearer. Back in 2007, Saharul’s mother admitted him and his brother to Don Bosco Ashalayam, a home for children in need. “Along with my parents, I have two brothers in my family. My father is a farmer and my mother works in fishing. Decathlon Foundation supported my secondary education, marking a turning point at the age of 18 when I joined Decathlon.” - Saharul. “When I first joined Decathlon, I didn’t know what it was. I had never seen a Decathlon store. We got to visit the #DecathlonZirakpur store for a month to understand the work and company. When we saw the store, it felt so huge and amazing! We had never seen a store like that in our lives.” “Working in Decathlon, we understood the culture of work, how we work together as a team. I wasn’t very good at communicating or presenting myself initially. We got to learn and develop ourselves a lot through mentors and training.” “Dheeraj Bhave selected me to work in the #DecathlonBelapur store in Mumbai, I got to take care of additional responsibilities. He always helped me develop. This was my first experience in a store in a shopping mall. I learned a lot about how to work." “In 2022, we got an opportunity to volunteer for the upcoming Olympics. I put my name for volunteering and last year I got an email from our team that I was selected as a torchbearer. When I first saw that mail, it was one of the happiest moments in my life. Only about 1500 people got the opportunity to carry the torch, and I’m one of them from #DecathlonIndia.” “Starting his Decathlon journey from our employability project to now representing Decathlon on a global stage, Saharul's story is nothing short of inspiring. It’s amazing how we get to nurture such incredible talents, shape their growth stories, and they in turn inspire the world through the wonders of sport.” - Saurabh Katyare, store manager, #DecathlonAzara. “Sports can truly change your entire life. If I hadn’t played rugby, I would have never got an opportunity to live the way I got to. Working in Decathlon, I’m getting a chance to grow personally and support my family. I don’t know if I would have been able to develop job skills, learn to manage a team, grow the way I have if I wasn't here.” - Saharul. Wishing Saharul all the very best for his bright road ahead!
