TV actor Shravan Reddy, who is currently enjoying the success of his TV show "Krishnadasi", has been named the first ambassador for Merino wool in India by The Woolmark Company.
The announcement was made at India Fashion Forum 2017 here on Wednesday.
Shravan's strong fan and digital following in conjunction with his youthful appeal led to his selection as the brand's Indian face and he is excited.
"It is an honour and I am overwhelmed to begin this journey with a trusted not-for-profit enterprise like The Woolmark Company," the actor, also known for his role in "Dosti... Yariyaan... Manmarziyan", said in a statement
"The brand has always introduced path-breaking innovations and campaigns that have influenced youth who believe in socio-economic change. Identifying with a brand has never been easier for me and therefore my association with The Woolmark Company has stemmed almost naturally."
The Woolmark Company and Shravan's mutual passion for the sportswear and athleisure markets form the perfect foundation to educate consumers on the versatility of Merino wool.
