What this case is about
Your client is the Table Tennis Association of India. They have set a target to win an Olympic Gold medal in women's table tennis at the 2025 Olympics. They want your help to chart out a path to achieve this target, focusing only on the women's singles and doubles categories. The current year is 2021, and you have four years to build a plan. The Indian women's team typically gets eliminated before the semi-finals, and the main competitors are China, the USA, New Zealand, and South Korea. You may assume the Association’s operations are similar to the BCCI but with much less funding and almost no sponsorship. How would you approach this challenge?
Objective
Develop a comprehensive, structured plan for India to win an Olympic Gold in women's table tennis by 2025, covering talent identification, training, and performance improvement.
