Virat Kohli makes debut on the social media platform LinkedIn
Kohli's first post on LinkedIn is not purely about cricket; it's about promoting brands. Through the post, he has tried to create a bridge between sports and business.
The legendary batter is currently an investor in Agilitas, a co-founder and co-creator of one8world. Both of the brands are closely associated with sports. With the increasing demand for cricket, Virat Kohli aims to attract fruitful value from the market. Both of the brands gained attention from fans, especially cricket fans, soon after their launch. One8, which is inspired by Kohli's jersey No. 18, easily goes with Kohli as a brand name.
Virat Kohli makes his vision clear
Through the LinkedIn post, Virat Kohli speaks about Indian sports and a new generation of athletes. With the hope that India can continue significantly in shaping global sports, the brands associated with the former Team India captain will be involved in manufacturing, consumer brands, and sports distribution.
"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. The vision is to build an end-to-end sports platform from India, spanning manufacturing, consumer brands, and sports distribution. It's a belief that India can help shape the future of global sport, not just participate in it," a portion of the social media post reads.
"That's why I've joined Agilitas as an investor and as a co-founder and co-creator of one8world. one8 is built on a belief I've carried throughout my career: progress comes from pushing boundaries, raising standards, and daring to do things differently," it continues, along with some photos of the products of these two brands.
A few dedicated words for one8world
Further in the post, Virat Kohli mentions that he is delighted to see one8world is loved by thousands in his home city, Delhi. To take the vision further, he has vowed to push the limits in the near future.
"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. The vision is clear. It's time to build something that will outlive all of us. That's the journey we're on," Virat writes.
Virat Kohli will next play for Team India in the opening ODI of the tour of New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland on November 4, 2026.
