Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has successfully transitioned from sports to entrepreneurship, building a business empire valued at around ₹120–125 crore.
At the core of his ventures is Da One Group, which acts as the umbrella for his business and social initiatives. Under this, he has launched Da One Sports, focused on nurturing emerging athletes and building a sustainable sports ecosystem.
Beyond business, Dhawan is actively involved in philanthropy through the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation, which works in areas like education and healthcare. Initiatives such as Smart Shiksha and Digital Shiksha aim to bring modern learning tools to underserved communities across India.
He has also expanded into brand investments, notably partnering with and investing in QUE, a premium eyewear brand where he plays a strategic role as both investor and ambassador.
Dhawan’s journey reflects a shift from being just a sports icon to a strategic entrepreneur—leveraging his brand, network, and long-term vision to build ventures that extend well beyond cricket.
