Coffee or tea, maybe both?

Join us as we discuss the opportunity before speciality tea and coffee companies, the competitive landscape and understanding of the Indian consumer.

Why attend

Consumption, the beverages business, B2C retail are all big themes in India. With the co-founders of Chaayos and Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters leading the interaction, we will look at how these two companies have built a strong beverage retail business in India.

The conversation will also delve into aspects such as the speciality tea or coffee movement in India, insights into the tea and coffee consuming habits of Indians and the increasing competitive intensity due to both domestic and international players entering the out-of-home beverage retail market.We will also talk about the advantages and disadvantages before cafe companies like Chaayos and Blue Tokai in breaking out of urban India and expanding into tier II markets. And from a consumer point of view, product differentiation, barriers to entry and distribution strategies. This is a private event, specially curated by us to add value to the lives of our subscribers. The discussion will be led by Matt, co-founder of Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters and Nitin Saluja, founder of Chaayos, along with the senior leadership at The Morning Context.
