Tata Starbucks Ltd, the 50:50 joint venture between Starbucks Coffee Company and Tata Global Beverages Ltd, has entered Delhi with two stores at the New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport.
Starbucks entered India in October 2012 and has four stores in Mumbai.
Avani Saglani Davda, CEO, Tata Starbucks Ltd, stated, “We look forward to extending the unique Starbucks Experience and meeting the increasing demand for high quality coffee within travel channels in India. With the entry into this segment, Starbucks will offer a differentiated breakfast menu that is carefully selected to cater to travellers, while providing an inviting and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the legendary Starbucks Experience while in transit.”
The store will be open 24 hours at the international terminal and from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the domestic terminal. Starbucks plans to extend its presence in this segment with the launch of Starbucks stores at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai by the end of March 2013.
