October 10, 2025The aim of Ten X You is to help India move from being a nation that loves sporting heroes to one where every citizen is encouraged to play. "My wish is to transform our nation from a sports-loving nation to a sports-playing nation, it is essential...", Tendulkar elaborated on his desire to make fitness a fundamental part of every Indian household.
Reflecting on his cricketing career and the gaps he noticed in sports products and support for budding athletes, Tendulkar stressed that Ten X You aims to fill those very voids. "What I felt in my career was missing, we have been able to add that here," he explained, highlighting his vision of accessible, high-quality products for all.
Why Tendulkar Launched Ten X You
On the idea behind the launch Tendulkar elaborated, "The idea behind launching this brand was simple—when I retired, I wanted to continue batting for India in a different capacity...We keep talking about India being the youngest-average age nation in the world. But are we fit and healthy? Honest answer is no. We can get fitter and healthier."
For Tendulkar, hope rests on nurturing healthy habits from childhood, "We were thinking about doing something like this, which will help transform our country," he remarked. "How can we get everyone to play a sport of their choice?"
