Samrat Reddy is the Founder and Managing Director of the Drunken Monkey smoothie bar chain. Started in Feb 2016, Drunken Monkey was initially a single smoothie bar in Hyderabad. Today the company boasts of more than 50 stores across the country and they’re still growing! Samrat Reddy can be best described as someone who is continuously looking for novelty, speed and competition.

After acquiring an Engineering Degree, he worked in Australia for a while before heading off to Scotland to do an MBA. It was in Scotland that he actually thought of setting up a smoothie business.

In 2015, almost 7 years after he first thought of a smoothie empire, he decided it was time to make it happen. After a year and a half of R&D, planning and refining, the “Drunken Monkey” was born.
