Going (Inter)National

Speaking to Economic Times about the company’s expansion, Lisa Srao, Chairman and Managing Director of I Brand Beverages, said, “We will enter three new states in India in the next fiscal. These will be Delhi, Telangana and Karnataka. We are also planning to enter into three new countries — Vietnam, Laos and Thailand during the next fiscal year.” According to the company, the sales of its products have grown exponentially since it was launched a mere four years ago by Srao and has reached 100 per cent growth rate in the last two years. 

Outside Metros

The company’s strategic planning to market its products in towns outside of the metros has helped target customers at a much lower cost as compared to larger cities. According to Srao, the company is looking to partner with international brands and as well as the local spirits market to increase its footprint in the country.
