In this collection of pictures we shall know why star India batter Virat Kohli rejected Rs 3000000000 renewal contract from a company and then where did he invest? Let's know about it.
Virat Kohli got an offer of an endorsement deal with a huge amount of Rs 300 crore. However, Kohli has rejected this offer.
These days Virat Kohli, who is busy in IPL 2025, is showing his strength on the field but is also active in his business off the field. Recently it was revealed that Kohli ended his 8-year-long relationship with German sportswear company PUMA.
This journey of Virat Kohli and Puma started in 2017, when this giant company signed Virat Kohli, who was then the captain of Team India, for 8 years and gave him a huge amount of Rs 110 crore in return.
Now in 2025, this deal between Virat Kohli and Puma has been completed and both have parted ways. However, a report has claimed that this giant company wanted to continue its contract with Kohli for the next 8 years and for this it had also offered a huge deal of Rs 300 crore to the star batsman. But Virat had made up his mind to start a new journey and hence rejected this offer of Puma.
According to reports, now Virat Kohli is dealing with a new company Agilitas. The special thing is that Agilitas has been started by Abhishek Ganguly, former MD of Puma India and South-East Asia. He started this company in 2023 and now Kohli is preparing to start a partnership with him. Kohli started his own brand named One-Eight a few years ago and took it forward in collaboration with Puma. Now Kohli is planning to make his brand even bigger in collaboration with Agilitas.
Team India's superstar Virat Kohli has made a huge investment of Rs 40 crore in Bengaluru based sports goods manufacturing company Agilitas. With this investment, the scope of his business portfolio has increased further. Kohli plans to increase his stake in the company by investing more in the coming time. With this investment, Kohli will now not only be the brand ambassador of the company, but will also play an important role in taking the company forward.

Bengal jute industry frets over import ban through land ports
1 2 Kolkata: The ban imposed on the import of raw jute through land ports by the Union commerce ministry will cripple the sector in Bengal, leaders of the jute industry said on Saturday. Around 90% of jute-related manufacturing occurs in Bengal. The Indian Jute Manufacturers' Association (IJMA), the umbrella body representing the industry, plans to reach out to the ministry urgently, seeking a modification in the notification so that raw jute and yarn can continue to be imported through Petrapole in North 24 Parganas. "India annually imports around Rs 2,000 crore of jute and jute products from Bangladesh. Value addition is done in Bengal and finished jute products are then re-exported. The govt should ban the import of finished products from Bangladesh as the govt there provides a huge subsidy to the industry. But the ban on raw materials will hurt the industry here. Importing jute bales and yarns through the Nhava Sheva sea port in Navi Mumbai will increase the cost and drive away the relative price advantage that companies manufacturing jute products enjoy in this region," said Hemant Bangur, chairman of Gloster Ltd, one of the leading jute companies in India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Kartik Chakraborty, secretary of Customs Clearing Agent Association, Petrapole, said jute items comprised 60% of the trucks that crossed the border into India from Bangladesh. "After the Bangladeshi garment import ban through land ports was announced on May 17, the number of trucks that entered India reduced from 150-200 a day to 70-80 daily. Now, with the ban on jute products, only 15-20 trucks will arrive. Around 50 trucks, loaded with jute-related items and were about to cross the border on Friday when the notification came, turned back on Saturday," Chakraborty recounted. A ban has been imposed on imports of certain jute products and woven fabrics through all land routes, citing strained relations between the two countries. The goods under these curbs include jute products, flax tow and waste, jute and other bast fibres, jute, single flax yarn, single yarn of jute, multiple folded, woven fabrics or flex and unbleached woven fabrics of jute. Ghanshyam Sarda, chairman of Sarda Group, which owns Agarpara Jute Mill, said the circular requires further clarification. "While it states that the import of jute and other textile-based fabrics is restricted, it does not explicitly specify whether hessian and sacking bags fall within the scope of this restriction. It is a matter of serious concern that the import of hessian fabric and jute bags continues to remain unrestricted, whereas the import of raw jute from Bangladesh — an essential input for domestic manufacturing and vital to addressing the raw jute shortage in India — has been placed under restriction. We are hopeful the Centre will revisit the matter and take appropriate corrective action in due course," he said.

2,536 new buses to be inducted into RTC fleet for women's free travel scheme in Andhra Pradesh
Vijayawada: As many as 2,536 additional buses would be inducted into the existing fleet of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) to implement the free bus travel scheme for women. Officials of the state-run corporation submitted the estimates on the scheme to chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday. APSRTC has not included new buses in its fleet for a long time, and there will be an additional requirement of buses as the passenger rush is likely to increase once the scheme is implemented. Officials estimate that an amount of Rs 996 crore is required to induct new buses. They also explained the need to improve other facilities like drinking water, sanitation, bus information systems, and other amenities at bus stations. In a review meeting on the free bus scheme with the CM, officials said they estimate the number of journeys by women is likely to increase by about 78% after the scheme is rolled out. The total number of trips by women is likely to increase from 49.91 crore to 88.90 crore trips annually. Naidu suggested officials to go for new buses or take buses on rental basis if required. He said all new buses to be inducted into APSRTC fleet henceforth should be electric-AC buses. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He also suggested exploring the possibility of converting existing diesel buses into electric ones. He also wanted GPS installation in every bus to be made mandatory, while stressing on the cleanliness of bus stations and buses. The chief minister made it clear that the scheme will be rolled out from Aug 15 despite financial difficulties. "In view of the challenges being faced by the state, public money should be utilised efficiently," he said, and suggested looking for additional revenue sources focusing on cost reduction. Even in the procurement of new buses, he asked officials to explore all options to ease the financial burden on the govt. He suggested officials to study the best implementation models, explore options to generate own power for EV buses, hand over maintenance to private players, and explore battery swapping options.
