India proudly took center stage at the prestigious Union of Bartenders and Cocktails of Macau (UBCM) in collaboration with the China National Association for Liquor and Spirits Circulation (CNALSC). This milestone event, the inaugural Baijiu International Bartenders Competition, celebrated global bartending excellence.

The IBG President Mr. Archit Singhal graced the event as the Tasting and Garnish Judge for the China Classic Competitor category and Macau Bartender of the Year. Representing India, our competitors showcased their talent in the Classic and Flair categories, receiving an unforgettable welcome and exceptional hospitality.

In a distinguished panel discussion, experts from 20 countries delved into the internationalization of Baijiu. Strengthening this global partnership, two IBG trainers are undergoing the IBA Train Trainer Programme, paving the way for global-standard bartending education through the upcoming IBA Academy in India.

This collaboration promises to elevate Indian bartenders’ skills, salaries, and opportunities on the global stage. Together, we’re shaping a bright future for the bartending industry! 🥂
