Cobra Beer Limited
Cobra Beer was founded in 1989 by Karan Bilimoria and Arjun Reddy in London, with the first shipments arriving in the UK in 1990. Inspired by the idea of a less gassy, smoother lager suited to Indian cuisine, the brand grew rapidly through Indian restaurants before expanding into pubs and supermarkets. The company entered administration in 2009, owing an estimated £75 million, but was rescued via a joint venture between Molson Coors (holding 50.1%) and Bilimoria. In March 2024 Molson Coors acquired full ownership of Cobra Beer when Bilimoria exercised a put option transferring his 49.9% stake.
