Kati Patang Expands into the UK with Acquisition of 23% Stake in ChadKP Holdings

KATI PATANG LIFESTYLE LIMITED has made a major entry into the UK market and ushered in a new era for one of India's most renowned premium beer brands. With the acquisition of a 23 percent stake through its UK subsidiary in CHADKP HOLDINGS LIMITED, the parent company of Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn, Oxford, and the signing of a three-year license agreement to brew its famous gluten-free Saffron Lager at Chadlington Brewery, the brand aims for a major expansion.

One of the most well-known premium beer companies in India, Kati Patang, is starting a new chapter with this investment. An important step in Kati Patang's plan to increase its worldwide footprint is the strategic alliance with Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn, which is situated in the charming Cotswolds. By combining the advantages of all three companies, the partnership is expected to revolutionize the premium beer market in the UK and Europe.

Kati Patang is well known for its creative approach to making high-end beers with Indian influences. Celebrated for its award-winning beers made with pure Oxfordshire Spring water, Chadlington Brewery is renowned for its superior production and vegan-friendly philosophy. The Tite Inn Chadlington, a historic pub with deep roots in the community, will serve as an ideal setting for this collaboration, combining the best of British brewing heritage with the unique flavours of India.

“We are delighted to embark on this exciting venture with Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn Chadlington. This collaboration exemplifies our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and community-driven growth. By uniting our expertise, we aim to establish a strong foothold in the UK and Europe, offering a unique blend of Indian artistry and British brewing heritage," said Shantanu Upadhyay, Executive Director of KATI PATANG LIFESTYLE LIMITED. 

Jason Chipchase, CEO of the joint venture and a shareholder in both Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn, added, “This is a dynamic collaboration between two iconic beer brands. We’re excited to activate Kati Patang across pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets, while simultaneously scaling Chadlington Brewery’s own-label offerings. Together, we envision creating a vibrant ecosystem of unique taprooms in key cities across the UK.”

Strategic advisor Nigel Eastwood, who facilitated the deal and a strategic advisor to the new JV, shared his perspective on the collaboration, “This partnership represents a perfect synergy between two regions rich in heritage and innovation. By bringing together Kati Patang’s distinctive Indian flavours and Chadlington’s unmatched brewing expertise, we’re unlocking significant potential in the craft beer market. This deal is a testament to the growing demand for authentic, high-quality beer experiences in Europe.” The brand plans to open unique taprooms majorly in UK.
