Vijendra joins the Indian cricket captain M S Dhoni who will continue to be the face of the corporate brand Siyaram’s to hold the brand mantle high.

Siyaram has always been in the forefront of recognizing and promoting sport and sporting talents. It has associated itself with cricket and also tapped the potentially rich sporting domains like lawn tennis, athletics and now boxing where India has made a mark for itself on the world map.

His popularity among the masses has touched new heights post his success. He is the son-of-soil and a global phenomenon, thereby lending character to our brand positioning “coming home to Siyaram’s’.”

A jubilant Vijendra Singh said: “I am delighted to be a part of a brand that enjoys such enormous credibility and brand history. I am also very excited to join a list of stellar giants who have carved their success stories and have made India proud. And have great pleasure to be associated with a brand that recognizes the same.”
