"We have had a great year in F23 with strong revenues and are now present in 43 cities of India. As we expand our presence in Tier 2 and 3 cities, we need to become a more familiar and accessible brand for our consumers. Our pilot where we introduced a range of familiar beverages and a revamped food menu yielded fantastic results from both new and existing customers, which gave us the confidence to expand and go national. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to our vision of being the coffee destination of choice for customers in India. Our unwavering commitment to delivering personalized experiences has propelled Starbucks to become one of the most loved brands in India. We recently celebrated 10 years of TATA Starbucks, and as we gear up for the next stage of growth in India, we continue to look at ways to elevate the Starbucks experience for customers in India," said Sushant Dash, CEO, TATA Starbucks Pvt Ltd.
Following a successful trial of localised menus in Bengaluru, Bhopal, Gurgaon, and Indore in July of last year, which received favourable feedback from customers, TATA Starbucks has now expanded the new offers nationally. The announcement also serves as the official start of the brand's new #ItStartsWithYourName campaign across the country. The advertising campaign honours the welcoming, friendly, and personalised atmosphere that everyone experiences when they enter a Starbucks location. It honours the bond of love that unites Indian families.
