Ep. 23: India’s First Female Bartender with Shatbhi Basu

Beyond Cliché

In this episode of Beyond Cliché, Almas takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the 80’s to celebrate the spirit of India’s first women bartender Shatbhi Basu. From patriachial taboos to government laws, the drinking culture has prohibited women from being across both sides of the bar. In this stirring conversation, Shatbhi, Founder of India’s First Bartending Academy shares the importance of knowledge, skills and the art of mastering the science of mixing; which clearly is not gender bound. Shatbhi’s journey is surely to lift your spirits and break several myths related to women in the bartending space as you uncover her journey of moving beyond several clichés.
