Gotham Chopra is an acclaimed filmmaker, storyteller, and entrepreneur who has spent his career at the intersection of sports, spirituality, and human potential. As the creator and co-founder of The Religion of Sports, an Emmy Award-winning media company, Gotham has redefined storytelling by exploring the deeper, almost mythic, power of sports.
As a sports documentarian, Gotham has an unmatched ability to translate the drama of sports into universal narratives of struggle, transcendence, and greatness. Through years of working with the world’s most elite athletes (Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant to name a few), he has uncovered the deeper forces that drive them. He has seen firsthand how greatness isn’t just about talent but about the discipline to show up, the ability to embrace failure, and the relentless pursuit of improvement. Gotham is exclusively represented by Leading Authorities speakers bureau.
These lessons form the foundation of his storytelling, offering audiences a roadmap for their own pursuits, whether in sports, business, or life. At his core, Gotham believes sports are more than just games—they are modern-day religions, arenas for human expression, and pathways to self-discovery. His work continues to bridge the gap between entertainment and enlightenment, showing that the principles that define the greatest athletes are the same ones that can inspire us all to push past our limits and unlock our full potential.
Gotham’s accolades extend beyond individual athlete profiles. The Religion of Sports has produced award-winning content that examines the rituals, faith, and culture surrounding sports, earning multiple Sports Emmy Awards. The company has also expanded globally, acquiring the UK-based studio Jiva Maya, and has partnered with cultural icons like Trevor Noah and Bill Simmons. His work has influenced not just how we watch sports, but how we understand their role in shaping identity, community, and personal growth. Most recently, he has authored Religion of Sports: Navigating the Trials of Life Through the Games We Love.
