Punjab Kings (PBKS) skipper and opener Mayank Agarwal has begun a new inning as an investor in Fullife Healthcare Pvt. Ltd, the parent company of sports nutrition brand Fast&Up.
The cricketer has joined Fullife Healthcare’s ranks as an investor for an undisclosed amount.
With the core aim to fuel the sport of an Indian athlete, Fast&Up is synonymous with running, cricket, kabaddi, badminton, football and is in partnership with over 100 professional Indian athletes and active association partnership with Tata Mumbai Marathon, Airtel Hyderabad Marathon Expo, Skechers Performance Chennai Marathon, Airtel Delhi Half Marathon, TCS World 10K, Goa River Marathon, etc.
Speaking about this investment, the PBKS captain said: “I have been using Fast&Up products to support my on-field performances since the early days in my International career. Having worked closely with the team at Fast&Up for a number of years, they have showed a nuanced understanding of how to elevate an athlete’s fitness in order to achieve peak performance.”
Mayank first began using Fast&Up products during his breakthrough domestic season in 2017-18, when the batsman incorporated distance running into his training routine.
“I have been quite mindful of where I invest, as my principles have always been to put my money in a product and a brand that I truly believe in. Fast&Up ticks every requirement on the list for me, and I believe the potential for growth and range of products that Fast&Up has will make the brand the apex choice for many sportspersons across India and the world in the coming years,” he added.
On the other hand, Fast&Up CEO Vijayaraghavan Venugopal expressed his delight in a statement saying: “We are delighted to have an athlete of Mayank Agarwal’s stature and repute as an investor in Fullife Healthcare. Mayank has been an ambassador for Fast&Up for a while, but his decision to invest in the brand itself comes as a huge vote of confidence in our products.”
“We are invigorated by the commitment Mayank has brought into the project, and are keen to work closely with him and further use his insights in developing our range of sports nutrition products for high-performing athletes,” Venugopal said.
