The company based out of Mumbai is founded by Mohit Bhagchandani and co-founded by Adil Mistry and Kunal Patel.
The new range of chocolates and beverages (non-alcoholic and alcoholic) have been launched under the brand Copter7- inspired by the iconic Dhoni shot and his shirt number.
"When you believe so strongly in the vision of a company, it makes the association that much more meaningful. I am truly elated to be a shareholder and brand ambassador for a company like 7Ink Brews," Dhoni was quoted as saying in a press release issued by the company.
After the brand launch in Mumbai, Pune, Goa, and Bangalore, the products will also be launched in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Punjab, and Chandigarh over the next few months.
For the chocolates, the company has teamed up with well-known chocolatier and chef David Belo of Mysore-based craft chocolate brand Naviluna.
“Built around the attributes of champion cricketer, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and inspired by his signature 'helicopter shot', hence the name Copter7. The packaging and labelling is another noteworthy feature, inspired by Dhoni's different jerseys and their colors,” a press release issued by the company said.
Mohit Bhagchandani, founder and managing director said the brand would look to capitalize on Dhoni's "undying 'can't stop, won't stop' spirit".
