Work and play! Sony India MD Kenichiro Hibi brings lessons from the pitch to the boardroom
Kenichiro Hibi knows how to make a good pitch — at work and on the field too. The MD of Sony India loves sports and is a big fan of karate and baseball. He tells ET Panache of the latter, “I started playing when I was about six years old and also played for the junior baseball team. Our team was selected amongst the best four in Tokyo city baseball tournament. ”

Asked about whether he still has the time to play ball, Hibi replies that with work, play takes a backseat. “With my existing set of responsibilities, I don’t get ample time to play the sport regularly. I often do make an attempt to revisit the sport,” While the New York Yankees has always been his favourite team, Hibi says the game gives a lot more than just the score. “It’s not about winning or losing, but the joy of playing the game in a team. The sport has imbibed team spirit and it taught me to be a team player.”
