Founder's note

I'm Anuj Patil — bartender by passion, entrepreneur by spirit, and the proud founder of Project Liquid UAE and Project Liquid Bar School India.

After years of building Project Liquid Bartending Services in Dubai, I realised the need to bring that same level of professionalism, polish and opportunity back home. This school is my way of giving back — by offering high-quality, career-focused bartending education to talented individuals who are ready to turn their passion into a profession.

Whether you are here to build a future behind the bar or to explore your creative potential, you are now part of a family that values skill, confidence and relentless dedication.

Welcome to Project Liquid. Let's raise the bar together.

02

Confidence

The presence to own any bar, read any room and make every guest feel looked after.

Relentless dedication

The work ethic that separates a job from a career — and good bartenders from great ones.
