Mahendra Singh Dhoni, renowned as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, extends his influence beyond the cricket field, delving into the realm of corporate ventures. One significant pillar of his business portfolio is Dhoni Entertainment Limited, helmed by CEO Sheila Singh, his mother-in-law.
Reports from various media outlets highlight the prominent role played by Sheila Singh, who is also the mother-in-law of Dhoni, in steering the multi-billion-dollar company. Since 2020, both Sakshi Dhoni, Dhoni’s wife, and her mother, Sheila Singh, have been leading Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited, underscoring the family’s commitment to expanding their business endeavors.
It’s important to note that LiveMint could not independently verify these developments. However, under the joint leadership of the mother-daughter duo, MS Dhoni’s production house has witnessed remarkable success, experiencing significant growth and launching new projects. This marks Sheila Singh’s debut as CEO within the company.
According to reports, Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited, under the stewardship of Sheila Singh and Sakshi Dhoni, has seen its net worth soar, surpassing ₹800 crore within just four years. Presently, Sakshi Dhoni holds the majority stake in the production company owned by MS Dhoni, who has diversified his interests into various businesses and projects, contributing to his estimated wealth of Rs. 1,000 crore.
The union of Sakshi Singh Rawat and MS Dhoni traces back to 2007 when they first met during Dhoni’s visit to Kolkata for a cricket match. Sakshi, then working as an intern at the Taj Bengal Hotel, struck a chord with the cricketing maestro.
Beyond her involvement in the hospitality industry, Sakshi, alongside Dhoni, serves as a co-owner of the Ranchi Rays Hockey Club, based in Chennai. A prominent presence on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter, she shares glimpses of her family life with her 4.8 million Instagram followers and provides updates about the Ranchi Rays Hockey Club.
The evolution of MS Dhoni’s corporate empire, with the active involvement of his family members, exemplifies a blend of entrepreneurial acumen and familial support, marking a significant chapter in the narrative of his post-cricket career.
