“The company of my friend Maxime Rousson (a company that already specializes in interactive tactile media) was completely stopped,” explained the No. 58 of the ATP ranking in Le Parisien. “We told each other that it would be a great idea to create a new brand, which I would have associated with, of gel dispensers that don’t need to be touched with their hands to work.”

He revealed that his project takes the future into its stance. That’s where his idea will prove profitable. He will pitch it to bigger outlets.

Pouille also revealed that a part of the profits will go towards charity efforts to tackle the pandemic.

“The health rules will be very different,” said the Australian Open 2019 semi-finalist.“Every company, shop or restaurant will need to be able to supply the gel. Before this period I almost never used gel. Now I always have a bottle with me.” 

He has already sold more than 1000 units of his product called Hygy. The goal is to cross 10,000 by the end of May. What do you think of the idea and the business launched by Lucas Pouille?
