India’s Praj Industries, global process engineer and solutions provider, announced the launch of a five day technical training diploma in association with the UK’s Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD). IBD-PRAJ Diploma in Brewing – Module 1 Training 2015, which is accredited at level 4 by City & Guilds in the UK, will be the ‘first-of-its-kind’ to customise current Brewing training offered in the UK to the Indian Beer Market.
With the recent spell of intense hot summer weather in India, beer consumption has witnessed good growth in the first quarter of this year and the past few quarters has seen more international investors taking an interest in the Indian beer markets—particularly as India’s new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is pushing for new business investment in India.
The diploma comes at a time when such interest requires India’s Beer Industry to come into line with global beer practices. Speaking about the programme, Sanjay Sapru, Executive Vice President, Praj Industries stated, “From a long term perspective, this is good for the Indian Beer market as we will be taking the quality of beer produced to the next level.” The course will cater to young brewers, process engineers as well as consumers in the market who want to update their knowledge and gain a greater scientific understanding of the beer making process.
The programme will be held from 24-28 August 2015 at Praj’s Headquarters in Hinjewadi, Pune, India. The course will cover a range of topics starting from the selection of barley and the malting process to how to properly enact quality controls on the finished product.
