MS Dhoni/Mahi/Thala Business’s 2024, CSK, Net Worth, Awards, Age

Business owned by Dhoni

1. Seven kicked off in February 2016, and they wanted Dhoni as their brand ambassador. But Dhoni went the extra mile. Not only is he their brand ambassador, but he also owns the footwear section of the brand.

2. SportsFit, by MS Dhoni, is like a fitness haven spreading across India. Mahi, known for his fitness josh, has put his heart and soul into this venture. He’s not just the face of it; he owns over 200 gyms across the country under the banner of SportsFit World Pvt. Ltd. It’s like he’s motivating the nation to embrace a healthier lifestyle, just like he does with his cricket.

3. Before Dhoni became a cricket star, he was known for his skills as a goalkeeper in his school team, showing his josh for sports. Although his dream of playing professional football didn’t pan out, he’s found another way to stay connected to the game. Dhoni now owns Chennaiyin FC, a football team in the Indian Super League. It’s like he’s keeping his love for the sport alive in a whole new avatar

4. Apart from his love for cricket, Dhoni has also shown his dil for other sports. He’s not just into football; he’s also invested in hockey. Along with being a cricket ‘maestro,’ he’s a proud co-owner of Ranchi Rays, a team from Jharkhand playing in the Hockey India League (HIL). Once known as the Ranchi Rhinos, they ‘scored a goal’ by winning the championship in 2015.

5. If there was a pataka option to invest in all sports, MS Dhoni would surely light it up first. The Ranchi-born cricket ‘rockstar’ doesn’t just stick to cricket; he’s ‘spreading his wings’ in various other sports too. For example, he owns the Mahi Racing Team India franchise in the Supersport World Championship. Even Telugu film ‘superstar’ Akkineni Nagarjuna joined hands with Dhoni’s racing team, showing how Dhoni is ‘playing ball’ in diverse fields beyond cricket.

6. Dhoni isn’t just hitting sixes on the cricket field; he’s also playing a ‘masterstroke’ in the business world. He’s invested in Rhiti Sports, a company that handles sports marketing and management, just like a ‘captain cool’ making strategic moves on the pitch. They manage big-name players like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Faf du Plessis, and Mohit Sharma, giving them the ‘chak de phatte’ (boost) they need to shine in the sports arena.

7. MS Dhoni is not just hitting boundaries on the cricket pitch; he’s also scoring big in the business world. Recently, he put his money  into the Bangalore-based startup Khatabook and even became its ‘dumdaar’ (powerful) brand ambassador. The startup has already ‘mopped up’ (raised) a whopping 29 million USD, and Dhoni, in his ‘dhamaakedaar’ (explosive) style, has invested a ‘top secret’ amount. This app is like a ‘saviour’ for small businesses across India, helping them manage their ‘kitaab’ (accounts) and ‘khaata’ (ledgers) with ease.

8. Dhoni is not just hitting sixes on the field; he’s also scoring big in the business arena. He’s become a shareholder in a food and beverage startup called 7InkBrews, where they’ve launched chocolates under the brand name Copter7, inspired by Dhoni’s iconic helicopter shot and his lucky jersey number. This Mumbai-based company, founded by Mohit Bhagchandani, is like a ‘masti ki dukaan’ (fun shop) for chocolate lovers, adding a sweet touch to Dhoni’s ‘swag’ both on and off the cricket pitch.

9. Adding to MS Dhoni’s list of ‘off-field sixes,’ there’s his very own hotel named Hotel Mahi Residency. Unlike many hotel chains, this one stands alone, just like Dhoni’s unique style. Located in his hometown Ranchi, Jharkhand, it’s like a ‘home away from home’ for travellers, reflecting Dhoni’s ‘dil se desi’ (heartfelt) connection to his roots.

10. Besides his involvement with well-known brands and sports teams, MS Dhoni has also ventured into organic farming. He dedicates a portion of his 43-acre farmhouse, located at Ring Road in Sembo village, Ranchi, to this endeavour. On about 10 acres of land, Dhoni grows various fruits and vegetables like strawberries, cabbage, tomatoes, broccoli, peas, hock, and papaya. It’s like he’s nurturing Mother Earth with the same dedication he shows on the cricket field.
