Ravi Shastri launches '23 yards'
Amidst the lockdown, Ravi Shastri has announced the launch of his new business venture '23 Yards'. The company will launch with a line of male grooming products including beard oils, face wash, body wash, aftershave, deodorant and of course, hand sanitizers. Shastri said that his decision to enter the arena of men's grooming stemmed from his personal attentiveness to grooming, which he felt had the power to make a bad situation bearable.
In an interview with Forbes, he quoted as saying, "As a cricketer, I groom the Indian cricket team to challenge themselves. I'm not here to teach anyone anything new but rather instil the art of success and taking the extra yard." For this venture, Shastri has partnered with personal care manufacturer Ador Multiproducts Ltd. The ex-Indian captain is confident that the line's affordable price tag and superior ingredients will set it apart in the crowded market.
