IOS Sports & Entertainment onboards Humaira Mushtaq
Mumbai: Sports management organisation IOS Sports and Entertainment has announced the on-boarding of India’s first female racer from Jammu and Kashmir Humaira Mushtaq.
The Kashmiri racer made her debut in the JK Tyre national racing championship which was held in Coimbatore in October 2019. She also participated in the MRF MMSC FMSCI National Car Racing Championship 2021, where she was the lone female racer and was recognised for the same.
“It is always rewarding for us to see young talents get the acknowledgment that they are fitted to,” stated IOS Sports and Entertainment COO Rahul Trehan. “Humaira has broken stereotypical bonds to live her dream. Even after being a medical student who has done pilot training, she has remained true to her passion, which is racing. And for us that was the driving factor to welcome her in our family.”
Humiara claimed the limelight back in 2019 when she became the first-ever female racer hailing from the land of Jammu and Kashmir after overcoming the traditional norms at the age of 23.
“It is truly a huge step up in my career to have been associated with a firm like IOS Sports and Entertainment,” said Humiara Mushtaq. “They have athletes from various sports under their umbrella and have done an impressive job to help the players gain the recognition they deserve. I am looking forward to a fruitful journey ahead with them and I am excited to see what they have in store for me.”
IOS Sports and Entertainment has an ample number of top-class athletes under their belt which include Olympic medalists like MC Mary Kom (boxing), Vijender Singh (boxing). Manpreet Singh (hockey), Saikhom Mirabai Chanu (weightlifting), Lovlina Borgohain (boxing), Hima Das (athletics), to name a few.

OpenAI’s Stargate lead Peter Hoeschele exits with two senior leaders
Trio behind compute push set to join new startup amid leadership reshuffle
SAN FRANCISCO: Peter Hoeschele, a key figure behind OpenAI’s early Stargate data centre initiative, has exited the company, according to a report by The Information.
The departure is part of a broader leadership shift, with two other senior executives, Shamez Hemani and Anuj Saharan, also set to leave in the coming days. All three are expected to join the same new startup, although details about the venture remain under wraps.
The trio played a central role in OpenAI’s Stargate effort, an initiative aimed at building large-scale data centre capacity in-house to reduce reliance on external infrastructure providers. Their exits mark a notable moment for the company’s compute strategy as it continues to scale rapidly.
OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to The Information, “We’re grateful for the contributions Peter, Shamez, and Anuj have made to OpenAI and wish them the very best in what comes next.” The company also pointed to the recent appointment of Sachin Katti to lead its industrial compute organisation, signalling continuity in its infrastructure roadmap.
OpenAI has indicated that it does not plan to directly replace Hoeschele’s role, suggesting a possible restructuring of responsibilities within the team.
As competition intensifies in the race to build next-generation AI systems, leadership changes in core infrastructure teams are likely to draw close attention. For now, the spotlight shifts to what this departing trio builds next, and how OpenAI adapts as it scales its ambitions.
