"At ABDL, we have believed in the power of innovation. This new venture, with the major impact personality like Ranveer Singh, represents our commitment to bring together simply the best. With him as our business partner and a creative mentor, we are confident that our luxury products will resonate with consumers," said Alok Gupta, Managing Director, Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited.

The creation of this would mark a strategic move for ABDL, allowing the new venture to focus on the exciting world of luxury spirits, while retaining the existing core brands in ABDL itself. This business venture with Ranveer Singh in partnership will ensure quicker decision-making, nimble adaptation to market trends, and specialized marketing expertise for the luxury segments. In doing so, ABDL separates its mass-market products from its luxury offerings, elevating the value of each.

With Indians drinking better and trending to luxury products, this business is set to make a significant impact. The entity will launch its own brands, partner with promising Indian start-ups, work with major international brands, and use the strong ABDL sales and manufacturing networks with clear go-to-market strategies.
