After making a strong impact with the bat in the ODI series against South Africa, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli is now preparing for a big move in the business world. According to recent reports, Kohli is set to sell his premium lifestyle brand One8 in a deal valued at over ₹100 crore.

As per sources, One8 will be acquired by Bengaluru-based startup Agilitas. Along with exiting the brand as the primary owner, Kohli will also invest ₹40 crore from his personal funds to become a minority shareholder in Agilitas. This will make One8 the second major acquisition for Agilitas after the takeover of Mochiko Shoes.

What Is the Current Valuation of One8?

Apart from running premium restaurants, the One8 brand is also involved in lifestyle and fashion products. The brand is reported to have a valuation of around ₹112 crore. The company is currently managed by Virat Kohli’s childhood friend Vartik Tihara and his elder brother Vikas Kohli.

Agilitas had earlier acquired Mochiko Shoes, which manufactures footwear for leading global brands like Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Skechers, Reebok and Crocs. With the One8 acquisition, Agilitas is now strengthening its presence in the premium lifestyle and sportswear segment.
