Storm in the Coffee Cup

In the late 1990s, a silent cafe revolution was sweeping urban India. Coffee drinking was increasingly becoming a statement of the young and upwardly mobile Indians.

Coffee bars, an unheard concept till a couple of years ago, had suddenly become big business and coffee bars like Barista, Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) and Qwiky's had become quite popular.

Though being a late entrant, Barista took elite India by storm. With 105 branches in 18 cities and annual sales of Rs. 650 million, Barista was clearly the leader in the coffee retailing business in 2002. What made Barista different from others was the ambience at its outlets.

Barista recreated the ambience and experience of the typical Italian neighborhood espresso bars in India. The interiors were bright, trendy and comfortable. One could play chess, read books, listen to music, enjoy the arts, surf the Net and sip an Espresso Italiano, or Iced Cafe Mocha. CCD which was started in 1996, had opened 50 outlets in 9 cities by 2002, with an annual sales of Rs. 100 million.
