Speaking of the partnership, Ankur Jain, Founder & CEO, Bira 91, said, ?The ICC partnership is a key moment for Bira 91 as we embark on creating the first global consumer brand to come out of India. A generational ?change of guard? in beer is underway as consumers shift towards beers with more color and flavor. World cricket is undergoing a similar generational change as it expands to more dynamic formats, newer geographies and consumers. We are excited to be part of the ?greatest celebrations of cricket? on the international stage and adding consumer experience driven activations by our innovative and delicious beers.?

ICC currently has 104 member countries. It continues to expand its global footprint and reinvent the game with the vision of making it more relevant for younger and new spectators including females, which is in sync with Bira 91?s ambition. ?Imagined in India, for new world? being the brand?s core philosophy, the brand aspires to drive a global shift in beer towards more flavour and colour.

Commenting on the agreement, Campbell Jamieson, ICC General Manager Commercial said, ?As we started negotiating the agreement with Bira 91, the natural overlaps in their ambitions and ours became obvious. Cricket has more than one billion adult fans and is a natural partner for this ambitious brand. The ICC is delighted to welcome Bira 91 on-board as an official partner and into the world cricketing family, and we look forward to working together for the next five years to deliver a strong partnership at ICC global events.?

Bira 91 grew five times in the last fiscal year (ending March 31, 2018) and has scaled to be comparable to the top 10 craft breweries in the US in terms of volume in only three years since inception. Besides India, the company has expanded internationally to the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE and Bahrain, with imminent expansion in the UK and Vietnam. The company expects to expand its production footprint five-fold to 2,000,000 barrels before summer of 2019 from the current capacity of 350,000 barrels.

With the global craft beer market projected to reach over $502B by 2025, and the market expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period due to the rising demand for craft beers- Bira 91?s growth comes at an opportune time to corner a rising market and reach emerging consumers.
