The listed company also aims to double its revenue from boys' wear to Rs 80 crore within three years."We have not signed up with Dhoni at the fag end of his career. He will be there for a couple of more editions of Indian Premier League. Our brand logo signifies the spirit of a man and Dhoni fits into that very well," Venky Rajgopal, Founder Chairman, Indian Terrain Fashions, told reporters here on Monday.According to him, the agreement with Dhoni is for two years and boys adore him which augurs well for the company.Rajgopal's views were echoed by brand expert Harish Bijoor."A brand ambassador has a shelf life even beyond the game. For example, Sachin Tendulkar has enjoyed a long shelf life even after his retirement. Dhoni has that tail effect. He is a solid cricketer," Bijoor, founder of Harish Bijoor Consults Inc, told .Bijoor added that a cricketer can take different avatars player, captain, commentator and others. So it is a long tail.He also said that such players are effective and may come at a lesser cost than what a cricketer at his peak would charge for brand endorsement.About the firm's expansion plans, Indian Terrain Managing Director Charath Narsimhan said: "The company will be expanding its retail footprint to 300 outlets from the current 150 outlets. The bulk of the expansion will be through the franchisee route. The company will expand into markets in north, east and west. We will also expand our presence in the southern states."He said the company closed the last fiscal with a turnover of about Rs 422.37 crore and net profit of Rs 25.71 crore as against a turnover of Rs 401.45 crore and a net profit of Rs 25.44 crore recorded in the year-ago period.Ruling out an entry into the women's wear segment, Rajgopal said there is great opportunity for growth in the men's and boy's wear segments.According to Narsimhan, the company derives about 14 per cent of its turnover through online sales and with its own web platform, the revenue is expected to increase this year.
