Vaniitha Jaiin, Founder of Revelry Distillery and creator of Vanaha Gin is one of the first women in India to independently build and own a distillery.
With over a decade of experience across brand strategy and alcobev, she represents a new wave of Indian spirits leadership driven by craft, innovation, and global ambition, with Vanaha Gin—crafted in the Sattari forests of North Goa—embodying a distinctive, botanical-forward approach rooted in purity and precision, and rapidly gaining global recognition as one of the most promising craft spirits to emerge from India.
In under six months, Vanaha Gin has earned five major international accolades, including a Master Medal at The Spirits Business Global Gin Masters, recognition from IWSC (UK) and Global Wine & Spirits Awards Asia, and Gold at The Spirits Business Global Spirits Design Masters. Notably, it is the only gin globally shortlisted for Innovation in Production at The Spirits Business Awards 2025.
With fewer than 183 woman-owned distilleries worldwide, her journey offers a compelling narrative on entrepreneurship, disruption, and building a globally competitive Indian brand.
