Her journey of becoming the only MW of India is incredible and she has won numerous accolades in this field. She is the former corporate head of wine and beverages at ITC Hotels.

Her aspirations are to draw India’s attention towards wine. Sonal is regularly acclaimed as one of the most influential personality in India’s luxury industry.

Her ventures include Soho Wine Club, where she is trying to spread the magic of wine in the land of whisky lovers. According to Sonal, wine should never be judged on the basis of its price and label. But it should be judged on how good it tastes, how finely it is made, how intense the flavours are, how finely are they blended together. Choosing a wine for yourself is a meticulous process. The wine you drink should suit your palate and budget. This is her idea behind her Soho Wine Club. In just two years, this club has emerged as the country’s most influential wine society. It brings the most exceptional wines for its members, which are chosen through expert selection process.
