Bidisha Nagaraj, the Marketing president of Cafe Coffee Day
c
Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) has an established brand image in India and
± in the food services category. Rival
Barista is at No 5. CCD has been able to make a connection with the Indian consumers,
predominantly among the youth. CCD is the market leader in India and was awarded the
!
"#
by ICICI Bank in its Retail Excellence Awards
2005 for the organized retail sector.
CCD has been able to make its brand presence felt through the sheer number of stores. CCD
has 620 cafes at present and it has ambitious plans to launch more than 900 cafes by the end
of the current financial year. This means launching one store every other day which is not
surprising from a company which launched a cafe (in 2005) in Vienna, the coffee capital of
the world. CCD also has three cafes in Vienna, and two in Karachi, Pakistan. Lagging behind
CCD in the Indian market, Barista has about 200 cafés, Java Green (around 75 cafés) and
Mocha (around 25 cafés). The Indian organized sector has potential for around 5,000 cafés
but fewer than 1,000 cafés exist currently.
