Tendulkar, who is renowned for his consistency on field, is not only a strategic investor in the company but also its lead brand ambassador.

“Our country is becoming younger and our ambitions bigger. Entrepreneurs of today are creating solutions that cater to this ambition.

The team has adopted timeless values to achieve excellence in their business – trust, transparency and integrity.

Spinny founder and CEO Niraj Singh tweeted, “Super proud moment for all of us at Spinny to welcome Sachin Tendulkar to the family. There is a lot to emulate from him in our values and performance. This association will keep inspiring us to get better every day. Thanks Sachin for your trust and support.”
