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 co-founder 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.
