Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan Turns Entrepreneur

Shikhar Dhawan, the man who has bowled everyone over with his amazing talent on the cricket field, recently ventured into a new foray. The famous cricketer started a home decor called DaOne Home with his wife. A premium home decor venture, this Company is aimed at improving the way people design their forever homes.

Providing a comprehensive solution for people looking at getting everything for the home custom made in one place, DaOne looks at accentuating the way your home looks and feels. Talking about his brand, Dhawan said in an interview, “Our homes are a natural extension of our own personalities, a reflection of our preferences and tastes. When Aesha and I were setting up our home, we realized the challenge that most Indians face when it comes to getting their living spaces to reflect their identities. While there were plenty of options available to choose from, no one place could give us the kind of comprehensive, end-to-end satisfaction that we were looking for. DaOne Home is our endeavor to address this major market gap.”

With a strong and continuously growing online presence, the brand lets people order the products of their choice on the website. At the moment, the online store sells bed linen, cushions and table linen. However, looking at the massive popularity of the brand, Dhawan and his wife are planning to partner with other e commerce retailers to expand their business and offer a wider range of products.

The products are specifically designed by an in house team based out of Delhi and can be customised, if required. Being an entrepreneur didn’t happen to Dhawan by chance. Always knowing he wanted to enter into business after retiring from cricket, Dhawan jumped at the chance to work with his wife when the opportunity presented itself. While Dhawan’s venture into this field is impressive, he isn’t the first cricketer to expand his horizons outside the cricket world. Other cricketers like M.S. Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli also branched out and became entrepreneurs. With Dhawan and his wife creating beautiful creations everyday, it is going to be interesting to see when the duo launches the retail stores!
