Crafting a Global Culinary Empire: From Tech to Taps

Bengaluru, August 27, 2024: Ironhill India had made headlines with the launch of the world’s largest microbrewery in Bengaluru a couple of years ago. This sprawling 1.3 lakh square foot establishment has set a new standard in the industry, with the capacity to host over 1,500 guests and serve eight distinct varieties of craft beer. The grand opening left visitors in awe, marking a significant milestone for the brand.

More than just a brewery, Ironhill India is committed to creating a community around exceptional beer and cuisine. By sourcing ingredients from unique regions, the brand has developed distinctive flavors that resonate with patrons. The success of Ironhill is rooted in its dedicated, highly trained staff who ensure an outstanding customer experience. Founder Teja Chekuri, a global food entrepreneur, embodies the brand’s innovative spirit. With a background in electrical engineering and a successful career in tech, Chekuri transitioned into the culinary world, establishing a diverse restaurant empire in both the US and India. His ventures include the expansion of the Godavari Group, the creation of Prost, and the founding of United Telugu Kitchens and Ishtaa, among others.

As Ironhill India continues its rapid expansion, including a new branch in South Bengaluru (launching soon), it is solidifying its position as a leader in India’s craft beer scene. Chekuri’s ventures are united under the banner of ‘Full Stack Ventures,’ where he also invests in food startups, nurturing emerging talent in the industry. His visionary approach and willingness to take risks have played a crucial role in building a thriving global food and beverage empire.
