BottleShop x IDRA: A Shared Vision for the Future of Retail

At BottleShop, we’ve always believed that liquor store owners and managers are some of the hardest-working entrepreneurs in India — yet their contributions often go unrecognized. We’ve always believed that liquor retailers in India deserve more than outdated systems and manual registers.

Our partnership with IDRA is rooted in a shared goal:
to elevate the standard of liquor retail in India through visibility, recognition, and technology.

And we’re doing more than just showing up — we’re giving back to the community.

What BottleShop is Offering Retailers at IDRA 2025

To celebrate and support the country’s best-performing liquor retailers, BottleShop is offering exclusive perks to all IDRA participants:

🏆 City Winner Rewards:
Every 1st-place retail winner from each city will receive a 3-month free subscription to BottleShop’s entire AI-powered platform.

🥈 Top 5 / Top 10 Finalist Perks:
All nominated finalists will receive 1-month free access to BottleShop’s tools — from smart billing to excise compliance and inventory management.

🤝 Exclusive Founders’ Session for All Attendees:
Every retailer attending the event will be offered a free 1-on-1 consultation with BottleShop’s founding team — tailored advice on how to modernize their business using tech, no matter their store size.

Why This Matters

The truth is, the Indian liquor retail industry has been neglected by technology for decades.
Most stores still manage their business with pen, paper, Excel sheets, and daily stock counts.

BottleShop is solving these exact problems, with tech built only for this industry:

• ✔ Auto Billing designed for India’s counter-store chaos
  
  
• ✔ AI-based stock forecasting and purchase planning
  
  
• ✔ Scheme tracking and supplier ledger automation
  
  
• ✔ Excise register generation based on each state’s unique format
  
  
• ✔ WhatsApp-based bulk order handling and customer CRM
  
  

The Future Is Local. The Future Is Tech.

Liquor retailers form the backbone of the $60B Indian alcohol industry — but they’ve had to rely on instinct and manual operations for too long.
We’re here to change that.

By partnering with IDRA, we’re not just celebrating the top retailers in each city — we’re giving them the tools to run faster, smarter, and more profitably.
