Puma: A very famous brand in the sports industry. Recently PUMA has rebranded its brand from ‘PUMA’ to ‘PVMA’. 

After adding 'V' to PUMA, it is becoming quite viral on the internet and some cricket fans are guessing that the V here stands for Virat Kohli, who is also the brand ambassador of PUMA India. 

The real story it was not about cricket it was about smashing suttles 

However, the reality is that Puma has rebranded due to a recent collaboration with Indian badminton player PV Sindu, and here only V has not changed, ‘PV’ has been replaced with ‘PV’, which stands for PV Sindu itself.
