Global Sports Partnerships & Marketing Campaigns

IPL Partnerships (RCB & MI)

Partnered with IPL titans Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI), launching high-energy grooming routines targeting over 20 lakh unit sales in year one.

Argentina Football Association (AFA)

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

The Context & Challenge

Aligning Technical Performance with Male Grooming UX.

When KT Men expanded its specialized grooming line under Dhruv Sayani's leadership, the brand needed an e-commerce platform that felt distinct from generic beauty templates.

Male consumers expect fast, frictionless purchasing pathways. The legacy store suffered from checkout friction and asset lag that degraded performance during high-profile sports sponsorship drives with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Argentina Football Association (AFA).
