4Play is a 360-degree media outfit for adventure sports, travel and outdoor culture. It is India’s original adventure sports channel born of a personal outcome from roughing it out, living on the cutting edge of what may be termed as extreme, and basking in the experience that came along. Conceptualised in Nainital (India) the idea of 4Play was simple and straightforward. To bring to the fore, stories from the subcontinent. Ranging from adventure to extreme sports to exploration and conservation. At Kosha, we are glad and honoured to have our roots attached to something so ingenious and innovative like 4Play, that helps in bringing out the best in people by enabling and supporting their desire for adventure!

Amidst Kosha’s early adopters, lies 4Play’s Co-Founder and Vision lead – Sukrit. An avid climber, ultrarunner and daydreamer, Sukrit is a fan of everything that is self-managed and solo. Being the flag bearer of 4Play for self-sufficiency and pushing the limits, he loves to spend his time slithering over rock faces and devising challenging running trails in the mountainous backyard of Manali, where temperatures drop as low as -5°C to 10°C. Sukrit is also responsible for looking after the Marketing, Social Media, Sales, and every spot in between at 4Play.
During Sukrit’s many adventures and feats, Kosha’s Winter Wear has played a significant role in supporting him. For each sport, for every campaign, and for all kinds of crusades, Kosha gear is your perfect partner!
Sukrit says –
“Safe to say that I have put the product to the use that it is meant for. One, it kept me dry and two, it kept me warm. And holds its shape even to this day. Also, with the outer shell off, it is one of my favourite things to put on for casual strolls in often chilly Manali weather. The bamboo merino thermal, what I love most about this product is the colour. And its texture is soft. A staple for Manali weather.”
