Tata Starbucks Private Limited has announced its ambition of operating 1,000 stores in India by 2028 or one new store opening every three days.
The strategy focuses on skilling local partners for jobs, opening new stores that serve customers with an elevated experience, and promoting Indian-origin coffee to Starbucks customers around the world.
To achieve its target of 1,000 stores by 2028 the company will double its workforce to approximately 8,600 partners as it plans to enter Tier 2 and 3 Indian cities, expand drive-thrus, airports and its 24-hour store footprint to serve customers where they are.
Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive officer, Starbucks said, “Over the past 11 years, the India market has grown to become one of Starbuck’s fastest-growing markets in the world.”
“With a growing middle class, we are proud to help cultivate the evolving coffee culture while honoring its rich heritage”, Laxman Narasimhan added.
Laxman Narasimhan further said, “With our trusted business partner, Tata, and our green apron partners, we are well-positioned to capture the limitless opportunities as we open one store every three days in India and further our aspiration to become truly global.”
Tata Starbucks will empower women in India by providing vocational skills training for underserved young women seeking careers in the F&B retail industries.
In partnership with The Starbucks Foundation, which awarded a grant to Trust for Retailers & Retail Associates of India (TRRAIN) to provide 2,000 young women with workforce development training, skills building, and mentoring by 2024, Tata Starbucks extended on-the-job learning options for program participants in stores in Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai.
As Tata Starbucks grows across India, the company remains committed to expanding through elevated coffee experiences, unique store formats and personalized moments of human connection for sustainable growth.
