Mr. Indranil Adhya, Founder of Girish Distillery and the visionary behind Selly Oak, blends strong academic credentials—B.Tech from Kolkata and an MBA from the United Kingdom—with rich global experience. His professional journey includes two years at Jaguar Land Rover, Gaydon, England, as a Brand Strategy Analyst, honing his expertise in brand building and strategic market positioning.
With deep exposure to the Indian liquor market, Mr. Adhya is driven by a mission to craft premium Indian liquors that resonate worldwide. His strategic foresight and relentless pursuit of excellence are shaping Selly Oak into a mass premium brand in India, while laying the foundation for Girish Distillery to emerge as a globally recognised name in alcoholic beverages.
Girish Distillery Pvt. Ltd. is the brainchild of a first-generation whisky entrepreneur, who spent years in the UK studying the liquor market. Recognizing India’s immense potential as one of the fastest-growing alcohol markets, he returned home to revolutionize the industry. His vision led to the creation of Girish Distillery, poised to elevate the Indian Alco-bev landscape.
Birmingham’s oak trees have stood sentinel on British soil since the industrial age, their weathered barks holding centuries of tales. These grand old-timers gave us our inspiration, our name, and much more.
Among the internationally famed British whiskey makers, there is an unspoken rule: One mustn’t rush what nature herself takes time to perfect. We have applied the same to our products. Every sip retains its flavor profile and distinctive taste and has an unmatched appeal.
Each bottle of Selly Oak matures at its own pace, gaining the sort of character that only time can render. Rather like those Birmingham Oaks, some things are simply made more grand with age.
We strive to create moments of value through our premium spirits, crafted with care and precision. We believe exceptional drinks have a way of bringing people together and turning gatherings into timeless memories. When people share our spirits, they share a part of themselves. Beyond crafting excellence, we are also taking Selly Oak to a global stage—bringing our story, heritage, and flavors to spirit lovers worldwide.
Our aim is to offer premium spirits to the connoisseurs that set new standards while honoring time-tested traditions. We create mindfully, ensuring every bottle meets our standards of perfection. Each decision we make, from ingredients to aging time, serves this singular purpose. We aim for sustainable growth through premiumization of our product portfolio and creating value for our stakeholders.
At Girish Distillery, we honor tradition while embracing innovation, crafting spirits that stand the test of time. We believe quality cannot be created with haste — some things deserve the time they take. Holding ourselves to exceptionally high standards, we create authentic, timeless classics for life’s meaningful moments. Every gathering deserves something extraordinary!
