THE PILLARS OF BUILDING
OUR CHILL FOUNDER
SHASHANK GUPTA
Shashank Gupta, the founder of Booch Beverages, has an exciting story. As a Chemical Engineering student at IIT Bombay, he spent all his time working on a concoction to help junta "chill" when shit happened. However, the faculty did not take too kindly to his innovations, forcing Shashank to abandon it. Fortunately for him, ITC and Unilever weren't bothered by his eccentricities. Shashank spent a decade with these companies researching, designing and selling soaps, creams, shampoos etc. while still hanging on to his pet dream of creating the ultimate "stress-buster". He flew around the globe for inspiration, particularly to Amsterdam and Bali. Upon returning from his travels, he quit his job and perfected the recipe for a non-alcoholic drink that could amazingly make anybody "chill" even when the proverbial shit hit the fan. Shashank had finally created a "stress-busting" beverage without alcohol.
