Kati Patang Lifestyle Limited has announced a significant increase in its stake in CHADKP HOLDINGS LIMITED, the parent company of Oxford-based Chadlington Brewery and The Tight Inn Pub. In January 2025, the company made a breakthrough in the UK market by acquiring a 23% stake in CHADKP Holdings Ltd and signing a three-year license agreement to brew its flagship gluten-free beer, Saffron Lager, at Sadlington Brewery. It now has a 51% stake.
This increased partnership reflects Kati Patang Lifestyle’s ambition to expand its global presence and redefine the premium beer segment in the UK and European markets.
“This increase in our stake is in line with our vision of building a global lifestyle brand rooted in India. CHADKP and our mutual commitment to quality, innovation, and community-driven growth and our unison in expertise have helped us in establishing a strong presence in the UK and Europe. By becoming a majority shareholder, we are confident that it will only further enhance our international footprint and will introduce iconic Indian brands and their high quality to global audiences,” said Shantanu Upadhyay, Co-Founder & CEO of Kati Patang Lifestyle Limited.
Set in the picturesque Cotswolds, Chadlington Brewery is renowned for its award-winning beers, made from pure Oxfordshire spring water. It is also recognised for its commitment to veganism and the quality of its products. Kati Patang, meanwhile, is celebrated for its innovative approach to brewing premium beers inspired by Indian flavours.
The collaboration combines the best of British brewing heritage with the unique flavours of India. The Tight Inn, Sadlington, a historic pub deeply rooted in local life, provides the perfect setting for this partnership.
"When we came together a year ago, one of our main intents was to create a vibrant ecosystem of unique taprooms in key cities across the UK. This deepening of our relationship within a year only further strengthens our joint efforts in that direction. Consumers in the UK & Europe are constantly seeking authentic tastes and experiences, and our alliance is a good illustration of how this need can be met. The collaboration has already enhanced Chadlington Brewery's production capabilities and continues to work towards unlocking the significant potential in the craft beer market,” said Jason Chipchase, CEO of the joint venture and a shareholder in both Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn.
