Sangram Singh : A Professional Wrestler from India and a Gold Medallist in the Commonwealth Wrestling Championship held in South Africa; Sangram Singh came to spotlight after his stint at latest reality show Survivor India. Sangram is a true showcase of what determination can enable one to do; as he was wheel-chair ridden for around a decade post which his grit and determination took him to this stage where he is among the world’s most well known professional wrestlers. After evaluating multiple talent management organizations, he chose to sign exclusively with Percept talent as he was convinced that PTM could add significant value in his overall career growth.

Joshna Chinappa : Joshna is one of the leading squash players of India and was the first Indian player to have won the British Squash Championship in 2003. Joshna is the face of leading brands like Nike, Gold Gym, the 3c company etc and is a perfect mix of athletic composure and earthy model like looks. Joshna’s international ranking has always been high and is expected to reach below 20 in a 2-3 year horizon – a feat never achieved by any Indian. Her association with Percept Talent was established when Percept Talent signed the 3c deal with her earlier this year. After evaluating the planning and the professional handling of her work, she was visibly happy to associate herself with Percept as an exclusive talent.

Payal Rohatgi: Actress Payal Rohatgi who has recently featured in the latest high TRP garnering reality show, Survivor India; signed exclusively with Percept talent. She had shown interest in Percept Talent due to her prior association with the company.
