Actor Vivek Anand Oberoi has acquired a 21 per cent stake in Rutland Square Spirits, a premium Scottish spirits company, founded by Nishant. This partnership brings together two cultures and carves a distinct niche by infusing Dibrugarh’s tea leaves into its artisanal spirits.
The official statement added that Dibrugarh, along with Tinsukia and Sivasagar, collectively account for approximately 50 per cent of India’s tea, now find an integration into Scotland’s premium spirits industry.
“I am thrilled to join Rutland Square. This project is an exciting bridge between two economies and cultures. Scotland is a beautiful country with deep-rooted traditions and a strong Indian business community. I look forward to working closely with the team to bring this vision to life,” stated Vivek Oberoi.
The company highlighted that the move highlights a broader trend where United Kingdom-India trade is finding a strategic sweet spot, with the food and beverage sector emerging as a key driver in strengthening bilateral ties. India is the largest market for whisky globally, with exports growing by 13.8 per cent, it added.
Nishant Sharma, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Veenu Sharma, Director of Rutland Square, said, “We are delighted to welcome Vivek Oberoi to the Rutland Square family. This collaboration is a testament to the strong and growing relationship between Scotland, India, and the wider South Asian community.”
