We have worked closely together as co-founders of Loca Loka Tequila which gave me a front-row view of how he and his team have built brands with strategic clarity, operational rigour, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. When the opportunity to back Ironhill presented itself, the decision required little deliberation. Ironhill has built something rare - a hospitality brand with real soul and genuine scale to match. Beyond the trust that I have in the founding team, what drew me to Ironhill was the experience that they have successfully created for patrons across each city. As Ironhill writes its global chapter, I’m not just backing a business. I am backing a philosophy that great experiences, like great music, need no translation,” said, Anirudh Ravichander, Investor - IronhillAnirudh’s investment follows the recently announced formation of Ironhill as a single international platform through a merger that brings together Ironhill India’s growth capital, operational scale, and consumer insight with Ironhill US’ craft brewing legacy and hospitality heritage. The group currently operates multiple venues across India and the US, with active expansion into new international markets planned through 2026 and 2027.“Anirudh and I have built something together with Loca Loka that has given me enormous respect for how he thinks about brands and what makes them travel across cultures. His decision to back Ironhill at this moment as we step onto the global stage, speaks to the confidence that people who truly understand brand-building have in what we are creating. We are proud and grateful to have an absolute rockstar like him invest in the venture,” added Sree Harsha Vadlamudi, Co-Founder & Board Director - Ironhill IndiaWith an active presence across multiple cities in India and the US, Ironhill operates at the intersection of craft and scale and is on a clear trajectory to achieve a valuation of ₹1,000 crore by 2027.
