We have entered into partnerships, and by the end of this year or early 2021, we will explore the tech and wearables space," Afsar Zaidi, CEO and co-founder of HRX, told BusinessLine.
 
Zaidi, Hrithik Roshan, and Exceed Entertainment together own HRX, while Myntra is a joint venture partner in its athleisure vertical that includes apparel and footwear.
