What key factors are driving India’s growing coffee culture, especially among young consumers?
Rajat Luthra: India is steadily embracing the coffee café culture, with increasing global exposure driving a greater appreciation for specialty coffee and the café experience. Coffee has evolved into a lifestyle choice, with rising interest in the origins, brewing methods, and unique flavours, fuelling demand for specialty brews. The Covid-19 pandemic, while challenging for the hospitality sector, benefited specialty coffee brands. Cafés became second spaces for those working flexibly and families seeking safe, relaxed environments. This trend has continued post-pandemic, with cafés now serving as social hubs frequented by diverse groups for casual meetups, business discussions, or personal time with a book or laptop.
