Snapdeal.com looks at inorganic expansion
MUMBAI: Snapdeal.com has appointed Abhishek Kumar as its corporate development head. Kumar comes with a vast experience in venture capital investments, strategic partnerships, business management and M&A in technology and media businesses.
Kumar said, “I feel fortunate to be a part of the young, energetic and dynamic team at Snapdeal. The platform is a remarkable example of a successful home-grown e commerce brand in India. I am extremely thrilled and excited to be a part of this company and contribute to its development going forward.”
At Snapdeal, he will be responsible for acquisitions, investments and deep partnerships that can lead to mergers for the e-commerce giant. He will look at all avenues of inorganic expansion as Snapdeal moves towards the next phase on the back of heady organic growth over the last three years.
“This is a very exciting phase for the e-commerce industry and we are seeing tremendous opportunities of discontinuous growth in the market. We recognise that no company can do everything well by itself, and hence we would look forward to working closely with the burgeoning ecosystem of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in India to build deep partnerships. Abhishek with his rich and diverse experience in venture capital and business management brings the necessary skills to take Snapdeal into newer orbits of success through strategic partnerships.” said Snapdeal co-founder Kunal Bahl.
In his last assignment, Kumar was investments head at Palaash Ventures where he led the investment team in deploying early stage capital in consumer internet, SaaS, Ad-tech, hardware and e-commerce enablers. He was earlier with TV18 Broadcast, leading the new ventures function for the media group.

Boldfit extends partnership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru
New “Champions #TrainBold” campaign offers fans chance to win player-used gear.
MUMBAI: Boldfit just raised the bar with RCB because when your training gear comes straight from the champions’ gym, even your home workout starts feeling like a title chase. Boldfit, India’s leading sports and fitness brand, has announced the next chapter of its partnership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the 2026 IPL season through the campaign “Champions #TrainBold”. Now in its third year backing the franchise, Boldfit is moving beyond sponsorship to co-creation, designing performance products based on the team’s real training needs and intensity.
At the centre of the campaign is a limited-edition RCB x Boldfit merchandise collection featuring towels, lifting belts, grips, sports equipment, hydration bottles and shakers all built for those who train with intent. Every purchase gives fans a chance to win authentic, player-used training equipment from the RCB team gym, including lifting belts, yoga mats, skipping ropes, resistance bands, gym balls and more, each accompanied by an authenticated RCB metal placard.
Boldfit founder Pallav Bihani said, “RCB fans have always been known for their bold energy. But boldness doesn’t stop in the stands, it’s built every day in training. This year, our partnership evolves from support to co-creation, building products with the team, for everyone who chooses to train bolder.”
The campaign celebrates last season’s momentum while pushing fans to embrace the same disciplined, high-performance mindset that defines the RCB squad.
In the high-stakes world of the IPL, where every boundary and every wicket matters, Boldfit isn’t just sponsoring a team, it’s giving fans a piece of the grind, proving that champions aren’t made only on match day; they’re forged in the gym, one bold rep at a time.
