Coffee Day Enterprises is the company that operates Cafe Coffee Day (CCD), the chain that made the cafe format take root in India. It once had the country's largest cafe network, but it cut its store count sharply after its debt problems.<\/p>\n

Business and strengths<\/h2>\n

It opened its first store in Bengaluru in 1996 and, with the line \"A lot can happen over coffee,\" made cafes a fixture among young people in the cities. It was set up to hold everything in-house, from coffee estates to roasting and stores.<\/p>\n

After the death of the founder, the debt problems that came to light led to asset sales and store closures, and the company now operates at a scale far smaller than at its peak.<\/p>\n

Recent developments<\/h2>\n

Consolidated revenue for FY2026 (fiscal year ended March 2026) was \u20b91,190 crore, roughly flat against \u20b91,159 crore in FY2025. The store count fell to 424 (435 the previous year), but Coffee Day Global, which handles the cafe business, is reported to have turned a profit in the same period. Besides coffee retail, it takes the form of a holding company carrying several businesses such as office leasing and hospitality.<\/p>\n

Points for Japanese companies<\/h2>\n

As an earlier example of running cafes at scale in India, it is worth looking at for the relationship between the speed of expansion and cash flow. It followed a path that contrasts with Tata Starbucks, which has moved ahead while holding back on openings.<\/p>\n
