Cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been picked as the brand ambassador of drone startup Garuda Aerospace, the company announced on June 6. He will also be one of their shareholders.
Chennai-based Garuda Aerospace had recently announced its plans to support agriculture.
The company said in April that it was working on a model to sell drones to village-level entrepreneurs or pesticide and fertilizers retailers.
MS Dhoni, by himself, has also ventured into farming. He owns a farmhouse in Ranchi, where organic fruits and vegetables are grown.
The cricketer said he was delighted to become a part of Garuda Aerospace. “(I) look forward to witnessing their growth story with the unique drone solutions they have to offer,” the company quoted him as saying in a press note.
Garuda Aerospace CEO Agnishwar Jayaprakash said he was an ardent fan of Dhoni.
