6oz Coffee, an innovative artisan coffee brand founded by Singapore-based Indian Sam Roberts, has launched its first outlet in Ulsur, Bengaluru. Roberts, a psychology doctorate student and coffee enthusiast, aims to introduce the rich and diverse flavors of 100% pure Indian coffee beans to a broader audience with this debut.

The brand is an extension of the KOORG brand and is deeply inspired by Karnataka’s coffee heritage. Karnataka is responsible for 71% of India’s coffee production, with regions like Coorg, Chikmagalur, and Hassan known for their high-quality Arabica and Robusta beans. These beans are grown in the shade of dense forests, which not only preserve biodiversity but also enhance the beans’ unique flavor profiles.

6oz Coffee offers a modern, minimalist approach to coffee, celebrating the craftsmanship and heritage of Indian coffee. The menu features a wide array of options, including over 15 classic coffee variations, special fusions, swirls, and boba creations. There are also flavored coffees, non-caffeinated options, and a specialty manual brewing edition. To complement the coffee experience, the outlet offers savory treats, cookies, and snacks.

At the opening of the first outlet, Sam Roberts shared, “Our mission at 6oz Coffee is to passionately promote the richness of Indian coffee beans and offer exceptional handcrafted experiences. 6oz Coffee aspires to be more than just a coffee brand; it aims to be a driving force in shaping the future of the coffee industry. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of sourcing, quality and supporting local coffee farmers in Karnataka. Every cup of 6oz Coffee not only delivers an exceptional coffee experience but also supports the livelihoods of those who grow it. We are excited to launch our first outlet in Bengaluru and plan to open 2 additional outlets in the coming months. We believe that 6oz Coffee will compete strongly with premium coffee chains and brands by setting a new professional level for artisan coffee.” 

6oz Coffee is set to disrupt the traditional coffee scene with its unique brewing methods and diverse flavor profiles. By blending traditional Indian techniques with modern innovation, the brand is poised to offer a distinctive coffee experience. The company also plans to create exclusive coffee events, including educational workshops, with a focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Looking ahead, 6oz Coffee plans to expand its presence both locally and internationally. The brand aims to cater to evolving customer tastes by diversifying its offerings and embracing emerging trends such as cold brews, single-origin coffees, and sustainable coffee pods.

“From a single outlet in Ashok Vihar to now serving across 20 cities, SGF has always believed in scaling with purpose”, shared Kewal Ahuja, Founder of SGF India. “Our business model is built on three core principles: quality, customer service, and brand consistency, which continue to guide every expansion and innovation.”

One of SGF’s strongest appeals lies in its focus on vegetarian and vegan options—flavourful, fiery dishes that reflect the preferences of the modern Indian diner. The brand’s smooth franchise model and dependable quality make it a go-to name not just for customers, but for food entrepreneurs as well.

DeVANS GianChand Manshaa Wins Big at ISW Germany, Crowned "International Whisky of the Year 2025"

In a landmark win for Indian spirits, DeVANS GianChand Manshaa has been crowned "International Whisky of the Year 2025" at the renowned Meininger’s International Spirits Award (ISW) held in Germany. The peated single malt not only secured the prestigious Grand Gold but also emerged as the top international whisky, outshining legendary competitors from whisky powerhouses like Scotland, Ireland, and the USA.

Out of 450 global spirit entries, only 11 earned the coveted Grand Gold, DeVANS GianChand Manshaa being the only Indian whisky to achieve this. This dual honour reflects the growing sophistication and recognition of Indian whiskies on a global platform.

The latest expression from DeVANS, GianChand Manshaa is the brand’s first peated single malt, crafted in the Himalayan region. The whisky impressed the international jury with its "long medicinal peat smoke, perfectly framed by citrus and spicy flavours." Esteemed whisky critic and author of the Whisky Bible, Jim Murray, praised it for its “charming smokiness, with peat in sparkling form.”

Crafted using pure Himalayan waters and shaped by the region’s distinct microclimate, GianChand Manshaa stands as a symbol of India’s potential in the premium single malt category. The win adds to the growing list of accolades for DeVANS, following their recent victories at the International Whisky Competition (IWC) in Las Vegas, where GianChand Adambaraa was named Best Indian Single Malt Whisky 2025 and Best Indian Whisky of the Year 2025.

“This prestigious Grand Gold and INTERNATIONAL WHISKY OF THE YEAR award at ISW Meininger, Germany 2025 is a great recognition of our passion, craft and commitment to quality,” said Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of DeVANS. “It’s not only a victory for DeVANS, but also a recognition of India’s growing role in the global whisky space.”

Speaking on the brand's journey, Dewan added, “GianChand Manshaa and GianChand Adambaraa represent two facets of our legacy, one bold and peated, the latter refined and elegant. Their success is a tribute to our team’s hard work and a reaffirmation of India’s place in the world of single malts.”

Currently available in Delhi and Hyderabad duty-free, both GianChand expressions will soon hit retail shelves in Haryana and Goa. These achievements underline DeVANS’ commitment to excellence and its vision to elevate Indian whisky to global acclaim.

For whisky lovers and industry insiders alike, this moment is not just a triumph, it’s a proud celebration of the craftsmanship and innovation coming out of India’s distilleries today.
