Gracy Chourey

Gracy Chourey works behind the bar at Soka, a Bengaluru neighbourhood joint that has grown from a local favourite into a platform for international collaborations. The industry is male-dominated, and she has carved out a space through skill and presence. Her bartending is technically strong and her palate is clear. She understands that a bar is not just about drinks but about the people who drink them. In a space that thrives on warmth and energy, she has become essential. Her trajectory is one to watch, not because she is a rising star in a conventional sense, but because she has the discipline and curiosity to keep growing. She does not need to perform. She simply needs to work, and the work speaks for itself.
