YouWeCan – The Yuvi Story
YouWeCan is a foundation established by Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh to spread awareness about Cancer. Since Yuvraj has himself battled the fatal disease and was on treatment in the US, he took up the mission to help out the under privileged patients by forming this foundation. In September 2012 YouWeCan app was launched by Microsoft for the Windows phone. When a user buys this app, one part of its cost will go as a donation to the foundation.
In April 2015, Yuvraj Singh announced before media that he intends to invest Rs 40-50 crore in online startups. Recently he has joined hands with Suditi Industries and forayed into casual wear market to sell apparels for men, women and children.
