Nothing Before Coffee (NBC), a rapidly growing Indian coffee chain, is marking its 7th anniversary with the launch of four new stores and plans for significant global expansion. The new outlets, located on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Ghaziabad, New Delhi, and Pune, highlight NBC’s continued growth and its commitment to providing high-quality coffee experiences across India.

Founded in 2017 by childhood friends Akshay Kedia, Anand Jain, Shubham Bhandari, and Ankesh Jain, NBC began as a single outlet on Tonk Road in Jaipur. Over the past seven years, the brand has expanded to 65 outlets in key Indian cities, including Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Lucknow. Reflecting on this milestone, Co-founder Akshay Kedia said, "Completing seven years is a momentous achievement that brings with it great responsibility. Our goal is to sustain our brand's legacy, meet customer expectations, and continuously offer compelling reasons for our patrons to keep coming back."

NBC’s vision for the future is ambitious. The company plans to open 400 new outlets worldwide over the next three years, with 150 of these locations planned for Europe. This international expansion will kick off with flagship stores in two global markets, bringing NBC’s signature 'Shrappe'—a unique blend of frappe and shake—to new audiences.

In celebration of its anniversary, NBC is offering a special promotion on August 31st and September 1st, 2024, with select beverages available for just Rs 99. Additionally, the brand is enhancing its loyalty program, allowing customers to earn rewards through their app.

As NBC prepares to take its successful Indian model to the international stage, it remains committed to innovation and excellence. The brand’s expansion is not just about increasing its footprint but also about maintaining the high standards and customer satisfaction that have made it a favorite among coffee lovers in India.

In a move aimed at capturing India’s youth-driven consumption moments, Coca-Cola India and Burger King India have announced a strategic, long-term partnership with the launch of ‘Feast on Wheels.’

The initiative introduces a first-of-its-kind mobile food truck format, designed to bring curated Burger King meals paired with Coca-Cola directly to college campuses. Built around affordability, accessibility, and immersive experiences, the platform aims to meet Gen Z consumers in their natural social environments.

The concept was unveiled on April 15, 2026, at Lovely Professional University during its inter-college festival. The activation transformed the campus into a lively brand hub, featuring a fully branded food truck serving Whopper meal combos paired with Coca-Cola at student-friendly pricing.

Beyond food, the experience leaned into youth culture with live music, DJ sets, gaming zones like tic-tac-toe and ping pong, interactive brand installations, and dedicated content creation spaces to encourage organic sharing among students.

Abhishek Gupta, Vice President, Customer Development at Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia, highlighted the strategy behind the move, stating that youth consumption today is spontaneous and social. He noted that the partnership brings a proven meal pairing into environments where such moments naturally occur, making the experience more accessible and engaging.

Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing Officer at Burger King India, emphasized the importance of cultural relevance, sharing that college campuses are where trends and energy thrive. He added that the initiative goes beyond food, helping the brand build deeper and more meaningful connections with young consumers.

By combining Coca-Cola’s global food pairing strategy with Burger King’s youth-first engagement approach, ‘Feast on Wheels’ is positioned as a scalable platform aimed at driving high-frequency consumption and long-term brand recall across India’s Gen Z landscape.
