New Delhi: Film actor-producer Anushka Sharma has acquired a minor stake in Agilitas Sports, which makes and retails sports footwear and apparel. Sharma’s husband, cricketer Virat Kohli, is already a co-investor in Agilitas, which was founded by former Puma India executives.
Sharma will co-develop the company’s yoga line under its sportswear franchise brand One8, Agilitas cofounder and CEO Abhishek Ganguly said.
“Anushka is partnering with Agilitas by investing capital in the company and building yoga-wear,” he said, but declined to provide further details of the deal. Last year, Kohli, who ended his eight-year, ₹110-crore deal with German sportswear maker Puma, acquired a minority stake in Agilitas for about ₹40 crore as a co-investor and business partner. The deal also saw Agilitas acquiring Kohli’s sportswear brand, One8.
