Ayushmann Khurrana books 400% returns on Angel Investment in The Man Company, Emami Acquires the Brand at a valuation of INR 400 crores

Ayushmann Khurrana delivered one of the many successful films of 2023 with Dream Girl 2. While the actor received a lot of love and appreciation from fans as well as critics, he also enjoyed the feat of his film entering the 100 crore club globally.

Owing to his commercial clout given he once had eight consecutive hits, Khurrana has booked 400% returns on his angel investment in The Man Company. The premium men’s grooming brand, which has become a household name, is set to be acquired by Emami Ltd. at a valuation of INR 400 crores.

Khurrana ventured into the world of business with a strategic investment in The Man Company in 2018. Recognising the growing demand for high-quality grooming products tailored specifically for men, he saw potential in the company’s vision to revolutionise the men’s grooming space in India. Ayushmann’s involvement with The Man Company extended beyond monetary investment - with him being a part of campaigns, product innovation and his understanding of the men’s lifestyle industry.
