Alcoholic beverages startup O'Be Cocktails has shut down its operations after operating for more than five years. “It was one of the most difficult decisions for myself to shut down the brand; however, in the long run, we couldn’t justify the direction. After extensive retrospection and analysis, it all came down to one key realization: Alcobev is not a consumer-backed but a commoditized industry, which does not align with our vision of creating a premium and convenient cocktail experience for our consumers,” said Nitesh Prakash, founder and chief executive of O'Be Cocktails in a Linkedin post. “Over the past year, we have made every possible effort to find a suitable buyer for O’ Be ensuring the flow of cocktails doesn't stop, but we believe we have now exhausted all remaining possibilities for a sale,” added Prakash. O'Be raised Rs 3.5 crore in an angel round led by First Cheque, Letsventure, Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal, Tracxn founder Abhishek Goyal, and Sprout Investments in August 2021. The Bengaluru-based startup also raised an undisclosed pre-Series A round led by Inflection Point Ventures in November 2023.
