Starbucks doubles down on India for global growth, rolls out new plans
Starbucks is making India a big part of its worldwide expansion.
CEO Brian Niccol, who took over in September 2024, just visited the country and announced more stores are on the way—bringing their total to 500.
The company wants to create fresh experiences for Indian coffee lovers and sees huge potential here.
More details:
Niccol's trip included meeting Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, highlighting Starbucks's ongoing partnership with Tata Consumer Products.
Even as local brands like Blue Tokai heat up the competition, Starbucks is investing in India's coffee scene for the long run.
They've also launched a new initiative to support 10,000 local coffee farmers by 2030—showing they're not just about selling coffee but also giving back to the community.
