Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters has achieved a remarkable milestone, crossing ₹400 crore in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). This accomplishment highlights the brand's consistent growth and its pivotal role in revolutionizing coffee consumption in India, according to a company release.
Founded in 2013, Blue Tokai has built its success on operational excellence, sustainable sourcing, and a customer-centric approach. Over the past 18 months, the company has significantly expanded its retail presence, opening 70 new stores across eight cities. This strategic expansion has not only increased access to their premium coffee offerings but also bolstered the brand’s visibility across the country.
Blue Tokai's focus on operational efficiency has led to a marked improvement in EBITDA, with the company currently operating at an EBITDA-positive level on a monthly basis. This reflects prudent cost management alongside scalable growth.
Diverse Offerings and Workforce Growth Blue Tokai has diversified its portfolio to cater to evolving consumer preferences. From artisanal coffee blends to ready-to-drink beverages and FMCG products like offerings from Suchali’s Artisan Bakery, the brand continues to expand its reach in the retail sector. The packaged goods division has seen consistent month-on-month growth, further solidifying Blue Tokai’s position as a leader in the coffee industry.
To support its rapid growth, Blue Tokai has hired 800 new team members over the last 12-14 months, ensuring seamless operations and superior customer experiences.
Commitment to Indian Coffee Heritage Blue Tokai’s commitment to supporting Indian coffee farmers through direct sourcing and a transparent supply chain remains at the core of its values. This approach ensures premium-quality coffee while promoting sustainable practices and strengthening the coffee-growing community.
The company also plans to deepen its connection with coffee enthusiasts by launching Experience Centers, immersive spaces that celebrate the art and heritage of Indian coffee. These centers will offer customers an opportunity to explore the journey of Indian coffee from farm to cup, fostering appreciation for its craftsmanship.
CEO Matt Chitharanjan expressed his gratitude, stating, "Achieving ₹400 crore ARR is not just a milestone but a testament to our shared journey. This will spur us on to keep innovating and usher more people into the vibrant world of specialty Indian coffee—its stories, heritage, and flavors.”
Future Growth Plans Looking ahead, Blue Tokai aims to open 80-90 outlets annually over the next three years, targeting a revenue milestone of ₹1,000 crore with double-digit EBITDA contribution.
With its ability to adapt to evolving consumer tastes while staying rooted in its core values, Blue Tokai continues to lead the way in India’s specialty coffee market.

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.
Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”
Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”
Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.
The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.
Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.
Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
