In this podcast, Nitin Bajaj talks with Nikhil Doda, Co-founder & COO of Lahori Zeera, who embarked on a journey to create a natural refreshment drink that would redefine the beverage industry and made a whopping revenue of 250 CRORE.

One day, Nikhil made a jeera drink at home with his family. He tasted it to his cousins, Saurabh Munjal and Saurabh Bhutna, who realized the potential of this drink and finally launched India’s fastest-growing beverage brand “Lahori Zeera” in 2017. Today this startup is disrupting the Indian beverage industry and targeting a turnover of Rs. 1000 Crore in the next 3 years.

The podcast starts with the inspiring journey of starting Lahori Zeera in 2017. Nikhil shares his top tips on finding the perfect distributor for any beverage brand and what sets this fastest-growing beverage brand apart from the rest. The conversation delves into the distribution and supply chain management system of Lahori Zeera.

Nitin and Nikhil speak about building a beverage brand, the cost of acquiring customers, finding the right distributor for your brand, how to market your product without paid advertising, PAN-India expansion of Lahori Zeera, and exporting plans of this brand.

Nikhil discusses the shelf life of carbonated drinks or mineral water, what would happen if the shelf life of these products increased from 3 months to 6 months, and whether we should consume the expired products or not.
