Our Story
As two South Asian brothers — one in recovery, one who’s never drunk — we created Nekta because we couldn’t find drinks that reflected us. Drinks that felt grown-up, tasted incredible, and didn’t come with a side of shame.
In both Punjabi and British culture, alcohol is everywhere. It is a marker of success, confidence, masculinity, even love. But what happens when you don’t drink?
You’re left out. Or forced to pretend. We wanted more. Something real.
Something rooted in who we are and how we connect.
Nekta is inspired by the Punjabi word Ekta, it stands for unity.
Unity between cultures. Between drinkers and non-drinkers. Between who we are and how we celebrate.
This is our something different. And it’s yours too.
You belong here, just as you are.
Welcome to Nekta.

We are here to support anyone with alcohol issues. No More Pretending is our parent non-profit organisation, a platform for those struggling with alcohol issues, especially in South Asian communities, to find hope, solidarity, and support.
We exist to share real stories and connect people to recovery without shame, without fear, without pretending. If you or someone you know are struggling, please get in touch.
Every time you choose Nekta, you’re helping us fund this work. Because drinks should bring people together, not leave them behind.
