Introduction: Barista came to India over 4 years
ago, with the vision of ushering in a `coffee drinking revolution' in the country
and redefining `pub hopping'. In just a little over four years,
Barista has created
a space in not only the specialty coffee segment, but in the lives of millions
of satisfied customers across the country.
At present,
Barista coffee has 130 Espresso Bars and Espresso Corners, making
it one of the largest retailers of specialty and gourmet coffees in Asia. In 2001,
the TATA group had purchased 34.3% of share in Barista. Early in 2005, TATA Coffee
Ltd sold its stake in Barista.
Barista has since been acquired by the Sterling
Infotech Group.
The association with TATA helped them in distributing and providing channels to
alternative channels in airlines, hospitality business etc. Today, Barista’s
market share is around 41% of the whole coffee bar market. Barista currently lies
in the growth stage of the Product Life Cycle. With the Coffee Houses’ market
rapidly expanding, (its main competition in the market being Café Coffee
Day, Indian Coffee House, Café Mocha and Nescafe Café) there is
intense pressure on Barista. Despite the neck-to-neck competition, Barista holds
a large part of consumer base.
Barista is one brand that has been quick to spot a latent need waiting to be tapped:
Coffee lovers seeking a complete experience. Hence it initiated a new concept
that is an ideal combination of premium coffee at affordable prices coupled with
an added advantage of casual ambience and excellent service. The objective behind
all the marketing strategies of Barista is to continuously tap the customer’s
indulgence for exclusive original coffees and convert the indulgence into habit.
