The company makes shoes for big brands like Adidas, Puma, Rebok, Crocs, Skeches, Clarks, Decathlon, Asics. After this, the company also obtained licensing rights of the Lotto brand in India. The company’s plan is to get three more brand licenses in the coming time. One of these is Virat Kohli’s popular brand One8. Kohli signed a deal of Rs 110 crore as the brand ambassador of the company in the year 2017.

However, before this, Kohli separated himself from this deal. Now with the new investment of Rs 40 crore, Agilitas issued about 3.6 lakh class 2 CCPS shares to Kohli. The company has already collected funding of Rs 500 crore from investors like Yuvraj Singh, Spring Capital and Nexus Venture Partners.
