The success of Indian athletes at the Paris Olympics 2024 are set to bring alone huge boosts to their brand value. Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra and shooter Manu Bhaker - both of whom now have two Olympic medals - are experiencing the biggest surges in their brand value.

Neeraj won silver in javelin at Paris 2024, whilst Manu was India's breakout star, winning two bronze medals and finishing fourth in a third category.

Whilst Neeraj is set to go beyond many cricketers in his valuation, Manu is also signing up for big deals. As per Economic Times, based on data by financial advisory firm Kroll, Neeraj Chopra's valuation is set to boom from USD 29.6 million to over USD 40 million (Rs 330 crore approx).

Neeraj's brand valuation was similar to India all-rounder Hardik Pandya before the Olympics, but he is expected to eclipse him as well.

Legendary para-athlete Devendra Jhajharia feels it's a matter of time for star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra to breach the elusive 90m mark and predicted that he can throw 93m in one or two years. Chopra won a silver medal in the Paris Olympics with a throw of 89.45m earlier this month while the gold went to Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who stunned the javelin world with an Olympic record effort of 92.97m. On Thursday, Chopra again finished second in the Lausanne Diamond League with a last round throw of 89.49m, behind two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada, who produced a monster throw of 90.61m. Jhajharia, himself a para-javelin throw legend with double Paralympics gold in F46 category, said when Chopra breaks the barrier of 90m, he will do it by a big margin, going past the elusive mark by 3 to 4 metres.
