I will be working closely with the Puma team on interesting campaigns and truly hope to carry forward the brand’s rich legacy.”

Karthik Balagopalan, Managing Director, Puma India, said “Ibrahim Ali Khan’s unique blend of sports heritage and cinematic charm perfectly embodies Puma’s ethos of effortless style and athleticism. With Ibrahim onboard, we are excited to reach and deeply engage with relevant audiences, inspiring the next generation of athletes and trendsetters.”
