Most students travelling to the US to study, aspire to become university toppers. Except for Abhishek Chinchalkar often referred to as Chinsi’ in the F&B community who thought it would be a better idea to become a brewer instead. After spending a part of his twenties working corporate jobs, he decided to open a brewery back home in India along with his college buddies from the University of Michigan.
Today, that has shaped into Bombay Duck Brewing BDB), which has a presence at various F&B outlets in Mumbai and Pune, including top restaurants like, Woodside Inn and The Bombay Canteen, among other taprooms.
