India, brace yourself for a taste of Japan like never before, as Beam Suntory, the global leader in premium spirits, unveils the latest gem from the House of Suntory. Following the resounding success of The House of Suntory portfolio's launch in December 2019, the spotlight now shines on India with the introduction of Haku® Vodka.
Derived from the finest Japanese ingredients, Haku® Vodka is a testament to the nature and spirit of Japan. It embodies the core principles of Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii's Monozukuri craftsmanship—a relentless pursuit of perfection, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
In a country where vodka's versatility has captured the hearts of consumers, the arrival of Haku® Vodka is set to make waves in the vodka market. Neeraj Kumar, Managing Director of Beam Suntory India, expresses their excitement, stating, "Vodka continues to gain prominence as a sought-after spirit amongst Indian consumers due to its versatility. Delivering a distinctive experience and establishing a unique presence in the vodka market, we bring yet another addition from our esteemed House of Suntory portfolio in India with the launch of Haku® Vodka."
The name "Haku," meaning 'white and brilliant' in Japanese, pays homage to the key ingredient, "Hakumai," a pure, white Japanese rice symbolising Japan's essence. This rice is meticulously milled, polished, and distilled, resulting in a "junpaku," a clear, clean, and luminous vodka. What makes Haku® Vodka truly exceptional is its filtration process through bamboo charcoal, adding a touch of sophistication and complexity to the vodka's natural flavour.
Haku® Vodka's design blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern sensibilities, creating a minimalist and artisanal product that beautifully celebrates Japanese craftsmanship.
India is not the sole destination for Haku® Vodka. This premium spirit is set to take flight across multiple markets, including Maharashtra, Goa, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Telangana. With prices ranging from INR 3,950 to INR 6,140, it promises to set an unprecedented benchmark in the vodka category.
Haku® Vodka, an embodiment of quality, tradition, and innovation, marks a significant step in Beam Suntory's mission to elevate its premium portfolio in India, further enriching the vibrant landscape of Indian spirits.
As The House of Suntory celebrates a century of whisky innovation, the introduction of Haku® Vodka reaffirms Suntory's commitment to heritage and a relentless pursuit of crafting exceptional spirits. Beam Suntory invites India to savour the essence of Japanese craftsmanship with each sip of Haku® Vodka.

Burger Singh, India’s favourite homegrown burger brand, has opened its third outlet in Bengaluru, this time in Sarjapur, marking another big step in its journey to conquer southern India. Known for serving burgers with an unmistakable desi twist, the brand sees huge potential in Bengaluru, a city it believes still has space for more Indian-flavoured QSR experiences.
The company has set an ambitious target of opening 100 outlets across Karnataka over the next few years, with four to five new locations already lined up within Bengaluru. This move fits into Burger Singh’s larger expansion roadmap to launch 200+ new stores nationwide, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The brand currently operates 180+ outlets across 80+ cities in India, growing rapidly under its high-ROI Owner-Partner model, which has become the backbone of its success story.
Speaking about the new launch, Bhargav P V, Chief of Staff, Burger Singh, shared, “Bengaluru is one of India's most exciting and forward-looking food markets, diverse, experimental, and rooted in flavor. While international QSRs dominate the space, there's still a huge opportunity for a brand that truly understands the Indian palate. With our third outlet in Sarjapur and several more in the pipeline, we're bringing Burger Singh's signature desi twist to more neighborhoods and building a strong foundation for our next 100 stores across Karnataka.”
The new Sarjapur outlet brings together everything Burger Singh stands for flavour, comfort, and a dash of fun. Its menu blends Indian spices with global burger trends, featuring favourites like Udta Punjab 2.0, Big Crispy, Bunty Pappeh da Aloo, and Amritsari Murgh Makhani, along with six varieties of fries, Batata Vada, Onion Rings, Karare Murgh Pops, Cheese Coins, refreshing beverages, and desserts.
Designed with a vibrant yet relaxed vibe, the outlet offers the perfect hangout for friends, families, and even solo diners. Whether you choose to dine in, take away, or order in, every bite promises a celebration of bold Indian flavours in true Burger Singh style.
Launched in 2014 in Gurugram, Burger Singh is the only Made-in-India burger brand competing head-to-head with global fast-food giants. Today, it operates over 180 outlets across 80+ cities including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Shillong, Jaipur, Dehradun, Jammu, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and Amritsar. The brand also made its international mark with three outlets and one food truck in London. With its recent pre-Series B funding, Burger Singh is valued at INR 430 crores, continuing its remarkable rise as a desi QSR success story perfectly suited for both metro and emerging Indian markets.
