SPIRITZ - March 2025

Bu sayıda

Women leaders are steadily redefining work culture across the alcohol and hospitality industries, sectors that have long been shaped by male-dominated leadership structures. Beyond breaking glass ceilings, many women executives are introducing more collaborative leadership styles, prioritising inclusive workplaces, mentorship and employee wellbeing, values increasingly critical in service-driven industries.

For the March edition, Spiritz celebrates nearly two dozen such leaders who are rewriting the rules across drinks, dining and lifestyle. Some have claimed ground in traditionally male-dominated domains; others are driving quiet but powerful change from within. Together, they signal a fundamental shift in the industry's character.

This edition also brings sharp insights from industry builders. Alcobrew Distilleries CEO Ashutosh Rajput shares an ambitious five-year roadmap anchored in premiumisation and a potential IPO. Ishwaraj Bhatia, Co-founder of Simba Craft Beer, outlines how the brand dominant in Chhattisgarh with nearly 40 percent market share, plans to scale nationally, targeting one million cases in each new market within two years. And Vrinda Singhal, Founder of Swizzle, speaks to the surging appetite for RTD beverages, crafting lightly sparkling drinks from real fruit and botanicals for today's health-aware consumer.
