Pitch Deck
Business Overview
- Since its launch six months ago, the brand has rapidly gained momentum, onboarding over 100 premium retail stores and bars across Goa within just three months.
- Between 285 and 385 cases (1,710 to 2,310 bottles) have been sold as of this month, and we have a healthy 15–16% month-on-month growth in Goa alone.
- The aperitif has already made its mark in the hospitality industry, being stocked in top venues such as SoGo, Beno, and Feli, which cater to both high-energy nightlife and sophisticated brunch crowds.
- A major driver of trade credibility is the endorsement and creative input of a widely recognized figure who is renowned as one of India’s leading bartenders. As the brand’s Creative Beverage Advisor, he supports cocktail development and trade education initiatives, ensuring strong engagement from bartenders and mixologists across the board.
- Early inbound interest from distributors in the UK, Nepal, and Singapore signals strong international potential. The aperitif appeals to curious global consumers and expat communities who are eager to explore Indian-origin spirits.
- The brand operates through both off-trade (retail) and on-trade (bars and venues) channels. The direct selling price per bottle is ₹1,180 against an MRP of ₹1,950, resulting in a gross profit of approximately ₹550 per bottle (~47%).
- The founding team brings deep industry experience:
1) Founder & CEO: Background in business, spirits, and brand-building.
2) Commercial Director: Over 18 years of experience and a track record of launching 10+ alcohol brands.
3) Master Blender: A seasoned distillation expert with 10 years in the field.
- The company has established a flexible partnership with a distillery, allowing for capital-efficient scaling with no minimum order quantity (MOQ). Collaborations with top bartenders and premium venues ensure continued relevance and visibility in trend-forward markets.
- The brand made its debut at the Serendipity Arts Festival last year with a landmark soft launch. Over 500 guests were served, 80 bottles were sold on-site, and the event generated ₹1.8 lakhs in revenue through direct inquiries.
Products & Services Overview
- The brand’s best-selling product is an India-born aperitif — a unique liqueur crafted from 36 native Indian ingredients. Priced at ₹1,950 for a 750ml bottle, it has sold 385 cases (2,310 bottles) as of this month, with the majority of sales coming from Goa.
- Targeted age groups range from individuals in their 20s to 50s who value premium experiences, authentic Indian products, and convenience.
