Diageo India, in collaboration with Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and powered by the Diageo Bar Academy, has launched exclusive WSET Level 1 Spirits training sessions for women bartenders and junior professionals across the country.
Commitment to gender diversity and skill development
Diageo India has launched a programme to support gender diversity, skill development, and leadership opportunities in the bar and beverage sector. In its first phase, the programme will certify over 80 women with globally recognised spirits credentials.
Part of ‘Our Hive’ platform
The sessions are curated as part of Our Hive — Diageo India’s platform to empower women in hospitality — and aim to not only elevate technical knowledge but also drive long-term career progression through mentorship, education, and inclusive community building.
Leadership and opportunity through collaboration
“This collaboration reflects our long-standing commitment to inclusion, capability-building, and progress,” said Anchal Kaushal, Vice President – Customer Marketing, Diageo India. “With WSET’s world-class certification and the Diageo Bar Academy’s legacy of training excellence, we’re not just upskilling — we’re opening doors to leadership, confidence, and opportunity. This is how we build a workforce that reflects the diversity and dynamism our industry needs.”
