The duo has collaborated and launched numerous customer-centric campaigns based on in-depth understanding of customer behavior, with the objective of enhancing consumer experience. Some of the marquee campaigns include 'Double the Love,' 'Friday Frappuccino,' and 'Items at 199.' Starbucks and Swiggy had also partnered to roll out the 'Classics' menu to roll out high-value meal items and combos tailored specifically for the Indian market.
Starbucks is proud to partner with Swiggy across 70 cities and 350+ outlets in India. To mark the milestone moment of the launch of the 50th Starbucks store in Bangalore Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Food Marketplace, Swiggy, joined 50 Swiggy delivery partners on a celebratory ride to the new store for a cup of Starbucks coffee. To make the occasion even more special, Sushant Dash, ceo, TATA Starbucks, personally brewed a signature Americano for Rohit, commemorating this remarkable journey and shared commitment to delivering great coffee experiences to customers across the country.
Commenting on the collaboration, Sushant Dash, CEO, Tata Starbucks, said, "Our 50th store in Bengaluru and first Drive-Thru in South India marks an exciting new chapter in our growth journey- one rooted in accessibility, innovation, and deep local relevance. At Starbucks, we use the specialty grade Arabica for every cup of coffee, serving the finest quality to every consumer. Swiggy has been a trusted partner in this journey, helping us deliver the Starbucks experience to customers wherever they are. As we expand across India, we remain committed to crafting new moments of connection, whether in-store or delivered to your doorstep."
Speaking on the sidelines of the launch, Mr. Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Swiggy Food Marketplace, said, "Starbucks' 50th store in Bengaluru is not just a milestone for their retail footprint, but also a marker of how far this partnership has come. From just a handful of stores in one city to now serving customers in 70 cities, Swiggy has been proud to partner with Starbucks every step of the way.
