Virat Kohli joins LinkedIn and shares message for India

Dubai: Virat Kohli has joined LinkedIn and shared his ambitions beyond cricket moments after joining.

The profile, which lists Kohli as a professional athlete with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), also mentions his business interests. It describes him as an investor at Agilitas since 2025 and a co-founder of one8world since 2026.

While the account does not appear to have the verification indicator next to his name, a source confirmed to Gulf News that the account is official and authentic.

After making his debut on the platform, Kohli issued a statement outlining his vision for Indian sport and his plans to build a business that extends beyond his playing career.

“I’ve always wanted to see an India where every sport is followed, celebrated, and played,” the former Indian captain wrote for his country.

Kohli also spoke about the potential for India to produce world-class athletes and build brands capable of competing globally. He described his association with Agilitas and one8world as part of a broader ambition to create a sports platform spanning manufacturing, consumer brands and distribution.

“It’s time to build something that will outlive all of us,” the statement reads.

The 37-year-old has previously been involved in the sportswear business through one8, the brand he helped develop. His association with Agilitas reflects his interest in expanding his business ventures beyond cricket.

Many fans have already pointed out how Kohli has already started plans for his post-retirement career. However considering his recent performance, the 37-year-old still looks like his prime days.
