Chennai, Aug 25:
Music composer Anirudh Ravichander has invested in hospitality group Iron hill through his venture Albuquerque Records, marking his second foray into the global hospitality and food and beverage sector.
The investment follows the merger of Ironhill India and Ironhill US, bringing the two businesses together as a single international platform. Ironhill currently operates venues across India and the US and plans to expand into new international markets during 2026 and 2027.
Anirudh, who is also the co-founder of Loca Loka Tequila, said his association with Ironhill co-founder Sree Harsha Vadlamudi through the tequila venture gave him an understanding of the team’s approach to brand-building and operations. He said he was backing both the business and its philosophy of creating experiences that transcend markets.
Vadlamudi said Anirudh’s investment reflected his confidence in Ironhill as it enters its next phase of international expansion. The investment comes as the hospitality group seeks to strengthen its global presence and build on its operations across multiple markets.
