Vivek Oberoi joins Rutland Square Spirits as Chairman
Bollywood actor and businessman Vivek Anand Oberoi has acquired a 21 percent stake in Scottish spirits company Rutland Square Spirits, becoming the Co-founder and Chairman after signing the deal in Edinburgh last week.
The group now aims to raise over £150 million from external investors in the coming months. This investment will support global expansion and fund a luxury hotel in Edinburgh, featuring Scotland’s first Ayurvedic wellness centre and Europe’s first hydrogen-powered hotel facilities.
In a statement, Rutland Square Spirits said, “We are proud to welcome Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi. His journey from Bollywood icon to serial entrepreneur, with 21 IPOs and ventures spanning fintech, luxury, real estate, and media, makes his involvement a game-changer.” They added, “Together, we are scaling a brand born in Edinburgh, rooted in India, and destined for the world.”
Founded by Nishant and Veenu Sharma, Rutland Square Spirits developed the world’s first oolong white tea-infused spirit, using tea from Dibrugarh.
