Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat suffered Olympic heartbreak after being disqualified for weighing in above the 50kg limit.

However, her brand value seems to be skyrocketing.

As per a report by Economic Times, at least 15 brands have lined up to sign her on.

The report states that Vinesh's team has risen her endorsement fee to Rs 1 crore per deal per year.

This is a significant jump, as the wrestler would charge Rs 25 lakh before the Paris Olympics.

Vinesh had advanced to the final of the 50kg freestyle event, but was stripped of her medal after the disqualification.
