Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital and Sachin Tendulkar collaborate to promote eyecare wellness.

Chennai, 21 February 2025: Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, India’s largest eye hospital chain with over 67 years of legacy and 223 hospitals globally, has roped in Sachin Tendulkar as its new brand ambassador. For the past 21 years, the hospital has been performing free eye surgeries on 100 patients annually under its ‘100 Centuries, 100 Patients’ program—a tribute to the Cricketing Legend. This is in addition to the 2 lakh surgeries performed in a year while serving 2 million patients annually.

The collaboration commenced with two television commercials that were well-received by the masses. The first advertisement play’s on one of Sachin’s biggest fan confusing him with his lookalike only for the real Sachin to step in and save the day for his fan. In the second advertisement, The Master Blaster is paired with the renowned Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath, which evokes the nostalgia of the 1990s for cricket fans.

Speaking on this association, Prof. Dr. Amar Agarwal, Chairman of Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, said, “We are honored to have Sachin Tendulkar as our brand ambassador. His association marks a new chapter in our journey of excellence in eye care. For over two decades, our hospital has been performing 100 free eye surgeries annually as a tribute to him. His unparalleled legacy in cricket, as the only player to score 100 centuries, aligns with our mission to achieve the best in healthcare, one patient at a time. We remain committed to providing world-class eye care and raising awareness about the importance of good eye health through regular eye checkups for everyone.”

In his comments about the partnership, Sachin Tendulkar said, “I am delighted to collaborate with Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital once again. Years ago, I had the honor of inaugurating their facility in Bangalore, where the team pledged to provide free eye surgeries to those in need. It feels like we have come full circle with this association. I truly enjoyed filming the television commercials and glad to see them being appreciated by everyone. Together, we look forward to spreading awareness about the importance of eye care across India and the world.”
