The brand has claimed itself as India’s first 10-minute liquor delivery platform. The service was launched in the metropolis of Eastern India after the excise department of West Bengal state gave the required permissions.”We welcome the move by the West Bengal government to open doors for aggregators to ease the deficit in the consumer demand and current supply in the market,” it added.
Booozie claims to be a delivery aggregator that picks up liquor from the nearest shop, with 10-minute delivery by using innovative AI which predicts consumer behavior and order patterns. They use deep consumer research to understand customer needs, and social behavior around alcohol to promote sustainable and responsible drinking for users.

Innovent Technologies said it would optimise costs and make services affordable by launching a B2B(Business to Business) management platform. Booozie co-founder and CEO Vivekanand Balijepalli said that with the advent of cutting edge technologies and Booozie’s commitment to responsible drinking, most of the concerns regarding liquor delivery like delivery to under-age persons, adulteration, excessive consumption, etc. have been addressed.
