Behind the massive success of MS Dhoni's 800-crore empire stands not his wife, Sakshi Dhoni, but his mother-in-law, Sheila Singh. As the CEO of Dhoni Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Sheila Singh, alongside her daughter Sakshi, has been instrumental in the company's growth and success.

In 2020, MS Dhoni strategically appointed both his wife, Sakshi, and his mother-in-law, Sheila Singh, as CEOs of Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited. This decision, driven by a desire to keep the company's vision within the family, has proven incredibly successful. While Sakshi holds the majority stake in the production company, Sheila's leadership has been crucial in steering the company towards significant growth and new projects.

Sheila Singh's journey to becoming a CEO is an inspiring one. Previously, she managed her household while her husband, RK Singh, worked with MS Dhoni's father, Pan Singh Dhoni, at the Binaguri Tea Company. In 2020, she stepped into the role of CEO, marking her debut in the corporate world. Despite her lack of prior business experience, Sheila's sharp instincts and detail-driven approach have been vital to Dhoni Entertainment's expansion.

Under the leadership of Sheila Singh and Sakshi Dhoni, Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited has witnessed remarkable success, with its net worth soaring to over ₹800 crore within just four years. The company has produced several successful projects and has become a significant contributor to MS Dhoni's total net worth, which is estimated to be over Rs 1,000 crore.

Sakshi Dhoni, besides being the co-CEO, is also involved in other business ventures. She holds a 25% stake in a real estate firm. Sakshi is also the Managing Director of Dhoni Film Production Company and a trustee for the Dhoni Charitable Foundation. Her net worth is estimated to be around INR 50 crore.

While Sheila Singh and Sakshi Dhoni lead Dhoni Entertainment, another key figure in MS Dhoni's business ventures is Arun Pandey. Pandey is the founder of Rhiti Group, a sports management company co-owned by MS Dhoni. Founded in 2007, Rhiti Group has diversified into sports, health & fitness, branded retailing, and film production. Rhiti Sports Management, a part of Rhiti Group, represents several athletes, including MS Dhoni. Pandey's Rhiti Sports also had the marketing rights to Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni also holds a 15.1% stake in Rhiti Sports.

From managing household affairs to co-running a company worth over Rs 800 crore, Sheila Singh's journey is a testament to her leadership and business acumen. Together with Sakshi Dhoni, she continues to drive Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited towards greater success, solidifying the family's presence in the entertainment industry.
