BW Businessworld's Latest Issue Dissects India's Booming Coffee Economy

BW Businessworld, one of India's leading business magazines releases its latest issue, offering readers an in-depth look at the flourishing Indian coffee market, alongside other critical business trends and insights.

Coffee Culture Boom
The cover story delves into India's rapidly growing coffee scape, projected to reach a staggering $1.23 billion by 2032. Despite the global giant Starbucks facing challenges in other markets, its Indian joint venture with Tata Consumer Products continues to thrive. Since its 2012 debut in Mumbai, Tata Starbucks has expanded to 410 outlets across 60 Indian cities and aims to grow to 1,000 stores by 2028.

The feature explores how legacy brands and young startups alike are capitalising on the growing coffee culture, particularly among younger consumers. From Canadian chain Tim Hortons' recent entry to homegrown Barista's expansion plans, the market is brewing with activity and innovation.

Startups Stirring Up The Scene
The edition shines a spotlight on emerging players like abCoffee, Third Wave Coffee and Beanly. These startups are carving out their niche by offering premium blends and unique experiences. The story highlights how established players are also innovating, with Tata Coffee partnering with Tamil rap artist 'Arivu' for a coffee anthem to Blue Tokai hosting community events and art appreciation sessions.

The issue also reveals a significant uptick in investor enthusiasm for the Indian coffee ecosystem. In just two years, specialty coffee chains have attracted nearly $100 million in venture capital - a stark contrast to the $22 million raised in the previous four years combined.

Telecom Sector: Data Surge vs Revenue Stagnation
A special report in the issue examines the telecom industry's conundrum of skyrocketing data consumption against flat revenue growth. It analyses how industry leaders Airtel and Jio plan to address this disparity through strategic tariff hikes and premium services while balancing affordability concerns.

From Ethical Hacker To Silicon Valley Entrepreneur
Readers are treated to an exclusive conversation with Saket Modi, the founder of Silicon Valley startup Safe Security. The interview traces Modi's remarkable path from conducting ethical hacking workshops as a college student to establishing a prominent tech company.

The issue concludes with insights from Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman of NAREDCO & Hiranandani Group. He emphasises the importance of cultivating resilient, people-centric organisational cultures and leading with empathy to transform challenges into growth opportunities.
