Café Coffee Day is India’s favourite coffee shop where the young at heart unwind.

It is a
division of India’s largest coffee conglomerate, the Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading
Company Limited (ABCTCL). Popularly known as Coffee Day, it’s a Rs. 750 crore, ISO
9002 certified company. With Asia’s second-largest network of coffee estates (10,500
acres) and 11,000 small growers, Coffee Day has a rich and abundant source of coffee.
This coffee goes all over the world to clients across the USA, Europe and Japan, making
us one of the top coffee exporters in the country.

Café Coffee Day is a chain of coffee shops in India having its headquarters in
Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka. A division of Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading Company
Ltd. (ABCTCL), it is commonly known as Coffee Day or CCD.

Large number of coffee day cafes are located in Bangalore. The cafe chain has had much
success riding, and to some extent creating, the cafe culture wave that swept across
metropolitan India following strong economic growth resulting in an increase in youth
spending power. It has even tied up with WorldSpace and Microsense to enable its cafes
with satellite radio and Wi-Fi, respectively. Its first Wi-Fi cafe was opened on Lavelle
Road, Bangalore.

Café Coffee Day sources coffee from 10,500 acres (4,249 ha) of coffee estates, the
second largest in Asia, that is owned by a sister concern and from 11,000 small growers.
It is one of India’s leading coffee exporters, with clients across the USA, Middle East,
Europe and Japan.

With its roots in Chikmagalur, the home to some of the best Indian coffees, Coffee Day
has its business spanning the entire value chain of coffee consumption in India. Its
different divisions include: Coffee Day Fresh 'n' Ground (which owns 450 coffee bean
and powder retail outlets), Coffee Day Square (high level coffee bar. one in bangalore.).
Coffee Day Xpress (which owns 730 Coffee Day kiosks), Coffee Day Takeaway (which
owns 9000 vending machines), Coffee Day Exports and Coffee Day Perfect (FMCG
Packaged Coffee) division. It is entering the European market by opening two Cafés in
Austria as well, making forays into Pakistan and Germany to set up cafes abroad. The
strategy CCD has adapted is to place a cafe in every possible location where some
business can be generated. So in Bangalore, in the main shopping district, there are six
outlets in a 2 km (1 mi) radius and over 140 cafes in Bangalore alone.

Another model which CCD has adapted is to be present in educational institutions and
corporate campuses either in the form of detailed cafes or its economical model of CCD
express.

These innovative strategies have ensured that the competition is at bay and ensured
CCD's dominance in the Indian market though few of its outlets are incurring losses.

Company background

Café Coffee Day is a division of India's largest coffee conglomerate, Amalgamated Bean
Coffee Trading Company Ltd. (ABCTCL), popularly known as Coffee Day, a Rs. 300
crore ISO 9002 certified company. Coffee Day sources coffee from 5000 acres of coffee
estates, the 2nd largest in Asia, that is owned by a sister concern and from 11,000 small
growers. It is one of India’s leading coffee exporters with clients across USA, Europe &
Japan.

With its roots in the golden soil of Chickmaglur, the home of some of the best Indian
Coffees and with the vision of a true entrepreneur nurturing it, Coffee Day has its
business spanning the entire value chain of coffee consumption in India. Its different
divisions include: Coffee Day Fresh n Ground (which owns 354 Coffee bean and powder
retail outlets), Coffee Day Xpress (which owns 341 Coffee Day Kiosk), Coffee Day Take
away (which owns 7000 Vending Machines), Coffee Day Exports and Coffee Day
Perfect (FMCG Packaged Coffee) division.

Café Coffee Day (CCD) pioneered the café concept in India in 1996 by opening its first
café at Brigade Road in Bangalore. Till about the late 1990’s coffee drinking in India was
restricted to the intellectual, the South Indian traditionalist and the five star coffee shop
visitor. As the pure (as opposed to instant coffee) coffee café culture in neighboring
international markets grew, the need for a relaxed and fun “hangout” for the emerging
urban youth in the country was clearly seen.

Recognizing the potential that lay ahead on the horizon, Café Coffee Day embarked on a
dynamic journey to become a large organized retail café chain with a distinct brand
identity of its own. From a handful of cafés in six cites in the first 5 years, CCD has
become India’s largest and premier retail chain of cafes with 498 cafes in 85 cities around
the country.

“Enthused by the success of offering a world-class coffee experience, CCD has opened a
Café in Vienna, Austria and is planning to open other Cafes in the Middle East, Eastern
Europe, Eurasia, Egypt and South East Asia in the coming months.”
