Smriti Mandhana, vice-captain of the Indian women's cricket team, has invested an undisclosed amount in a Gurugram-based ayurvedic company. Mandhana, who is ninth in the ICC Women's ODI rankings, will also be Neem Ayu’s brand ambassador.
According to a report by the Economic Times, Mandhana invested in the company because of "immediate trust" and her faith in Ayurveda. She is expected to help the company with its 'digital-first' strategy.
