The highlight of the evening was the presence of two athletes sponsored by Herbalife India, including Girisha Hosanagara, a paralympian qualified for the Rio Paralympics, and cricket superstar Virat Kohli.

“I have an excellent partnership with Herbalife and the Herbalife Family Foundation and I am delighted to be here to help underprivileged children understand the importance of making exercise and proper nutrition an integral part of their daily habits as they start out in life,” said Virat Kohli.

Wishing the very best for Girisha Hosanagara in the Rio Paralympics, Virat added, “I’m in the company of a great man who’s made India proud in the past, and we wish him all the best for the Rio games.”

Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), through its Casa Herbalife program has provided nutrition support for children in SOS Children’s Village across Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad; and with Smile Foundation across Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi/NCR and Kolkata.

Mr. Ajay Khanna, vice president and country head, Herbalife International India added, “At Herbalife, we believe good nutrition is the key to a healthy and better life.
