Ginglani Distillers, a Delhi-based whiskey startup in India, has raised Rs. 6.6 crores in its Pre-Series-A funding round led by Supermorpheus, Eagle10 Ventures (via LV Angel Fund) & Grand Anicut Angel Fund.
The round saw participation from a diverse set of investors including startup founders Nitin Kaushal & Chakradhar Gade (Country Delight), Rohan Mirchandani & Epigamia Founding Team, Prashant Pansare (Business Head India & MEA, Airmeet), Mohit Srivastava (Ex-MD Airbnb India) & Sameer Guglani (Co-founder, Supermorpheus), among others.
Shivam Ginglani, the Founder & young 30-year-old 1st generation whiskey entrepreneur said, “When one thinks of whiskey, the usual names that come to mind are Scotch, Bourbon or even Japanese. Considering Indians are actually the largest consumers of whiskey in the world, it is surprising that there is no noteworthy Indian whiskey category in India or globally. The only existing Indian category is IMFL or Indian Made Foreign Liquor which is confusing and inaccurate to say the least. It is this gap and under-representation of Indian whiskies that led to the birth of Black Bow – India’s 1st Himalayan Whiskey.”
Nitin Kaushal and Chakradhar Gade, Founders, Country Delight said, “We have been interacting with Ginglani Distilleries for over six months and are really impressed with the way they are building Black Bow Himalayan Whiskey and Woodsmen. The unique product portfolio has helped them penetrate in an evolving alco-bev space and stand out as brands uniquely positioned for the millennials.”
