New Delhi, India – Business Wire India

Kopi Kenangan, the fastest-growing coffee chain in Southeast Asia and the first food and beverage unicorn in the region, has announced the opening of its second Kenangan Coffee store in India, located at SDA Market, New Delhi. This launch comes just a month after the successful debut of its first store at Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden, marking a crucial milestone in the brand’s expansion within one of the world’s rapidly growing café markets.

The brand is backed by prominent investors, including Peak XV, Sequoia Capital, Serena Ventures (founded by Serena Williams), and B Capital (co-founded by Eduardo Saverin of Meta). With this support, Kopi Kenangan is set to introduce its signature Indonesian coffee experience to an expanding audience of coffee enthusiasts in India.

India’s coffee culture is flourishing, with total consumption expected to exceed one million bags between 2023 and 2024. This growth is attributed to rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and a vibrant café culture, particularly in major cities like New Delhi. Additionally, there is a noticeable shift towards health-conscious choices, with consumers increasingly favoring natural alternatives over refined sugars in their beverages.

Kopi Kenangan is strategically positioned to cater to this demand by utilizing Gula Aren, a natural palm sugar that provides a rich flavor profile with a lower glycemic index. This ingredient aligns with the brand’s mission to offer healthier options for modern Indian coffee drinkers seeking both taste and wellness.

Edward Tirtanata, Co-founder & Group CEO of Kenangan Brands, expressed enthusiasm about the new store, stating, “After the overwhelming response at Pacific Mall, we are thrilled to open our second store in SDA Market, Delhi. The Indian market has shown great enthusiasm for our unique offerings, and we are excited to continue building our presence here. We remain committed to delivering high-quality coffee that resonates with local preferences while offering an authentic Indonesian experience.”

The SDA Market location will feature an extensive menu of over 35 beverages and food items, blending Indonesian, Indian, and international flavors. Each item is crafted with fresh ingredients to ensure a unique cultural fusion in every sip and bite.

Founded in 2017, Kopi Kenangan has expanded to over 1,000 outlets across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, India, and Australia. With the launch of its second store in India, the company aims to continue its international growth, targeting more than 10 outlets in India by the end of 2025. Plans also include hiring over 100 employees in various roles to bolster its operations and community engagement.

Sanjay Mohta, Vice President & General Manager – India, commented, “Our expansion in Delhi has been a resounding success, and we’re excited to build on that momentum with our second store at SDA Market. We are focused on blending Indonesian craftsmanship with local flavors to create a coffee experience that resonates with India’s diverse coffee culture. We look forward to growing our community of coffee lovers and making a lasting impact on the local café scene.”

In line with its growth strategy, Kenangan Coffee is committed to supporting local agriculture by sourcing select coffee offerings from Indian producers, complementing its range of Indonesian coffee. The company continues to invest in local talent, providing employment opportunities across various roles to strengthen its presence and connection to the community.
