Inside Sport (IS) – Welcome to InsideSport. Brand Virat Kohli is doing great on as well as off field. Is it reflecting in sales revenue of his promoted brand WROGN

Anjana Reddy (AR) – With Virat’s growing stature, the brand WROGN is having great time. It is the fastest growing Indian youth brand. We have almost doubled our revenues this financial year in the trade channels and at all the retail point. We have been meeting our targeted numbers consistently.

IS – What does brand stand for and your TG ?
AR – WROGN stands for what Virat brings to the table i.e A sophisticated fashion brand for the rebel in you. Wrogn is intelligent. It is fairly evolved. It has fire, hunger. It is constantly exploring possibilities and likes to be experimental. It is anti-mundane, it strives to make the world an interesting place. It is active, not passive. It seeks an evolved world for itself. All these characteristics belong to Virat and the same is reflected in the brand ethos. Our mail TG is 19-28 years male audiences.

IS – Where do you see the brand going from where it is at this stage in next 4-5 years ??

AR – Not exactly. The idea to introduce STROGN Tees was to support the cause and showcase our strength which the brand believes in, we are not looking to add any women’s category under the brand WROGN. We hear about the suppressions and the senseless violence against the women at large, thus the voice for the cause. This could be eve teasing or domestic violence, whatever may be the suffering we extend our support strengthen the women at large troubled by any sufferings. Virat strangly believes in it, so we thought to introduce the same on the occasion of the WOMAN’S day.

The portfolio includes WROGN, inspired and co-owned by Virat, a contemporary women’s ethnic brand with Shraddha Kapoor, Ms. Taken a women’s western wear by Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon.
