In 2006, the Sekhri family co-founded Fratelli Wines, a venture that emerged from Kapil Sekhri's vineyard in Akluj, Maharashtra. Fratelli Wines is known as the first Indo-Italian wine, stemmed from a partnership between Alessio and Andrea Secci, Kapil and Gaurav Sekhri, and Ranjit and Arjun Mohite Patil.

In 2020, Kapil Sekhri passed away at the age of 45. Sekhri suffered a cardiac arrest while jogging.

Meanwhile, Tinna Trade's acquisition of Fratelli Wines reflects the changing dynamics in the India’s wine market. As the second-largest wine maker in the country, Tinna Trade is expected to shake-up the wine industry.
