Alcobuzz : September 2020 Edition
About this ebook
This optimism is reflected in this edition of the magazine as well.
Our longest issue till date.
There is just so much that we want to talk about this month - from peat whiskies to cigars and the whole culture around it, to our newly introduced concept of Hentails.
Talking of Hentails, that has been the single most exciting thing that happened recently at Alcobuzz
Started as an idea to create a community of women who love to drink, Hentails has seen so much love and support in just a month since its inception. You will meet the first batch of Hentails cheerleaders and supporters in this edition.
We also spoke to Manish Bhatia this month who is creating great relatable content around drinking on his youtube channel.
Under ‘Local Tipple’ we revisit the gems from Bordi and their beautiful range of sparkling alcoholic beverages made with fresh fruits of the region.
I hope you enjoy this edition. As always, stay safe stay happy.
About the author
Pallavi Naidu is a ‘spirited’ nomad.
Having spent a decade in Singapore only to be
drawn back to India to follow her passion -
Entrepreneurship. She founded Alcohowl, a
social platform on drinks; and then moved on to
creating a complete digital ecosystem for alto-
beverages including Asia’s premier magazine
on spirits, cocktails, nightlife and experiences,
ALCOBUZZ.
She did her MBA from SP Jain - School of Global
Management in Singapore, followed by
Organisational Leadership at Harvard Business
School. She has worked with top advertising
agencies in Singapore including Ogilvy & Mather
and Leo Burnett. Although she loved handling
high impact campaigns and award winning
work, when the entrepreneurial bug bit her, she
was ‘shaken AND stirred’ to channel her energy
into building these companies.
Pallavi has travelled the world in search of good food, often paired with an equally good
drink, if not better. With all these varied inspirations, she was drawn to digital storytelling ,
using her various platforms. Alcobuzz magazine now considered as one of the finest
digital publications in the alco-bev space. She also runs a content production platform
Studio Buzz, a digital consultancy - Paraphrase , a Not-for-profit initiative None for the
Road, that promotes responsible drinking and in her free time she is an influencer/ content
creator through her instagram profile @pall.naidu wherein she regularly reviews and
publishes opinion pieces on various beverages.
Pallavi juggles her time between her 5 loving but naughty dogs and this growing digital
ecosystem. Sometimes she writes when inspiration strikes, planning to publish her book
soon,...othertimes she fixes a mean G&T, perfect for Mumbai’s sweltering weather.
