Global Sports Partnerships & Marketing Campaigns

IPL Partnerships (RCB & MI)

Partnered with IPL teams Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI), launching grooming routines with a target of over 20 lakh unit sales in the first year.

Argentina Football Association (AFA)

A multi-million-dollar global partnership with AFA (featuring Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández) for the World Cup 2026 GOAT Edition grooming line.

The Context & Challenge

Aligning Technical Performance with Men's Grooming UX.

When KT Menexpanded its specialised grooming line under Dhruv Sayani's leadership, the brand needed an e-commerce platform that stood apart from generic beauty templates.

Shoppers expect a fast, frictionless path to purchase. The legacy store suffered from checkout friction and slow-loading assets, which hurt performance during high-profile sports sponsorship campaigns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Argentina Football Association (AFA).

Key Engineering Solutions

One-Click Mobile Cart Drawer

Built a custom AJAX side-cart with inline upsells, free shipping thresholds, and instant Razorpay/UPI checkout triggers.

Dynamic Grooming Routine Bundler

Coded a vanilla JavaScript bundle selector that lets shoppers pair anti-grey shampoos with styling waxes and UV sprays in a single click.

High-Traffic Campaign Resilience

Optimised asset delivery, compressed media formats, and pre-fetched critical routes to absorb traffic spikes during IPL & AFA Lionel Messi campaigns.
