Yuvraj Singh, a cricket player, has become an investor and member of the founding team of UN:BLOC, the new healthcare business founded by serial entrepreneur Deepak Sahni. This is the second time the two have worked together to create a business.
Yuvraj was one of the first investors in Sahni’s former business, Healthians, which developed into one of the biggest at-home diagnostics networks in India.
UN:BLOC’s business plan and product have not yet been revealed, and the company is presently operating in stealth mode. A small group of Sahni’s close associates from the business, healthcare, and other sectors are in early talks with the firm; some of them are anticipated to take part in its pre-launch investment round in the upcoming weeks.
UN:BLOC, which has its headquarters in Gurugram and is led by Deepak Sahni, is presently in the pre-launch stage. The organization claims that by concentrating on areas that have gotten comparatively less attention, it seeks to address long-standing issues in healthcare.
Indian cricket players have transformed from brand ambassadors to startup investors over the last ten years. In a variety of industries, including finance, healthtech, D2C brands, fitness, gaming, EVs, sports technology, and consumer goods, over 20 current and past Indian cricket players have made investments in businesses.
Yuvraj Singh has made investments through YouWeCan Ventures, and Virat Kohli has amassed one of the biggest startup investment portfolios among Indian athletes. Cricket players like Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and MS Dhoni have recently made investments in the game business LightFury Games.
