“This opens up opportunities for coffee brands in India, where the likes of Starbucks, Third Wave Coffee, or Blue Tokai have still not been able to fully cater to such a huge market size. Additionally, for budget-friendly coffee brands in India, there’s not even a single market player and it’s completely untapped. We are excited about this relationship,” Singh added.
