Meet Woman CEO Who Successfully Leads MS Dhoni's Rs 800-Crore Company; She Is Not Wife Sakshi Dhoni...
Dhoni Entertainment CEO Sheila Singh's Journey: Whenever the history of Indian cricket is written, Mahendra Singh Dhoni will undoubtedly have a full chapter to his name. As a former Team India captain, Dhoni has etched his legacy with iconic records and inspiring leadership that made the nation proud. But the cricket legend's achievements don't stop on the field — off the pitch, he has built a powerful business empire worth crores, with one of the pillars being Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited.
Interestingly, while many associate the company with Dhoni's wife Sakshi Dhoni, the real force steering the ship is Sheila Singh, his mother-in-law. She might not often be in the public eye, but she plays a pivotal role as one of the CEOs of the Rs 800-crore venture.
Since its inception in 2020, Dhoni Entertainment has been co-led by Sheila Singh and Sakshi Dhoni. While Sakshi holds the majority stake and has an active presence in the company, it is Sheila who has emerged as the operational backbone. Wearing multiple hats — from CEO to advisor, from strategic guide to de facto HR — Sheila has quietly but powerfully contributed to the company's success. Under her leadership, the production house has delivered several hit projects and earned a solid name in the entertainment space.
Dhoni Entertainment is part of Dhoni's growing business portfolio, and the company alone is valued at over Rs 800 crore. It significantly contributes to Dhoni's estimated net worth of Rs 1,030 crore.
As for Sakshi Dhoni, she first met MS Dhoni in 2007 when she was interning at the Taj Bengal Hotel in Kolkata. The couple eventually tied the knot and now also co-own the Ranchi Rays Hockey Club, based in Chennai. Sakshi is also an active voice on social media, with over 4.8 million followers on Instagram, where she frequently shares glimpses into her personal life and professional ventures.
But when it comes to the daily operations and strategic management of Dhoni Entertainment, Sheila Singh is the powerhouse quietly driving the company forward — a woman CEO leading from the front, beyond the cricketing limelight.
