Despite her family's esteemed business background, Mishthi Aggarwal's love for coffee drove her to chart her own course as a specialty coffee roaster, brewer, grader and trainer.
Founder-CEO of 93 Degrees Coffee Roasters, Aggarwal is the only female specialty coffee roaster in India who holds both the esteemed title of a certified Q grader and an authorised SCA trainer. Recently, she was welcomed as one of the youngest members of the jury for the World Latte Championship as well as the World Barista Championship 2023.
Striving for excellence
Needless to say, Aggarwal's journey has been a testament to breaking barriers. "It is an incredible honour, highlighting my dedication to advancing coffee culture globally. The role allows me to not only contribute to the industry's growth but also inspire aspiring baristas and roasters, particularly women, to pursue their passions fearlessly," she begins.
93 Degrees, a specialty coffee brand by the Bikanervala legacy, was established with the aim of taking coffee to unmapped territories. It values calculated risk taking and delivering products that bring a change. "Our vision stems from our love for coffee. Travelling the world, meeting new people and learning their stories made us decide that it was time to revolutionise India's coffee culture. Rather than simply looking forward to the next travel itinerary in search of the perfect cup, we are determined to bring the experience home; to hold, sip and enjoy," she elaborates.
