Shikhar Dhawan Talks About His Foundation & Businesses
For this Sunday Brunch episode, our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, stepped inside the beautiful home of Shikhar Dhawan and his wife, Sophie Shine, in Gurgaon. The house, exuding positive energy, welcomes you with a temple right at the entrance, which looks extremely beautiful. There is also a pool table that Shikhar used to play on, but no longer does.
In between talking about his life and his equation with Sophie, Shikhar showed us a wall lined with the awards he has won for cricket and a collection of bats. He also showed us his office, where he handles his businesses, including the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation. Through the foundation, he promotes digital education, STEM labs and more. Together, they have already impacted 50,000 children, and he calls it “seva” for the kids.

Other Ventures By The Sports Legend
During the episode, Sophie also talked about Shikhar’s another venture: Livelihood on Wheels, which supports people with disabilities. The foundation provides them with motorised wheelchairs. It also partners with delivery platforms like Zomato to help these specially abled individuals find jobs. They use their motorised bikes to work as delivery riders so that they can earn a living and support their families.
His sports business, Da One Sports, works as a sports academy and training company. Here, children and young athletes learn how to improve their game so that they can grow into future sports champions in India. All these conversations took place over a heartwarming feast featuring phule hue aloo paranthas, chole, fruits and other desi items, served with lots and lots of makhan.
