Tell us something about yourself. How did you come into business?
Academically, I got a B.E. degree in Chemical Engineering and Masters in Plastics Technology. However, in my heart, I was always fixated on settling in the hospitality industry. In 2001, I laid the foundation of this endeavor and since then, there has been no looking back.
What gave you the courage to start a brewery, still considered a new concept in Hyderabad?
We had a restaurant in Gurgaon which was running well but I wanted to do something bigger and better. I myself as an individual, love beer, and in 2009 when I was planning to revamp our business, we converted our restaurant into a brewery. Thus, the brand VAPOUR was born. After a successful stint in Delhi, Bengaluru and Gurgaon, I was eagerly eyeing Hyderabad and 2016 marked the completion of my long-cherished desire. The city was new to the beer culture, but we were sure that with our expertise, experience and taste, we would redefine beer experience.
