In his first post, Virat described his vision of an India where sports beyond cricket receive greater recognition and participation.

“I’ve always wanted to see an India where every sport is followed, celebrated, and played. Today, that vision feels closer than ever. A new generation is proving that India can produce world-class athletes and build brands for the global stage,” he wrote.

He also outlined his ambition to help develop a sports ecosystem in India that brings together manufacturing, consumer brands and sports distribution.

“The vision of building an end-to-end sports platform from India, spanning manufacturing, consumer brands, and sports distribution.

A belief that India can help shape the future of global sport, not just participate in it.

“That’s why I’ve joined Agilitas as an Investor and as a Co-founder and Co-creator of one8world,” Kohli added.

That’s how we introduced the brand to the world, and watching one8world come to life in front of thousands of people, in my home city, was one of the most meaningful moments of my life,” he wrote.

Kohli concluded by emphasising his ambition to build a lasting enterprise.

“The vision is clear. It's time to build something that will outlive all of us. That's the journey we're on.”
