Starbucks is operating in India through a 50-50 joint venture with Tata Global Beverages, called Tata Starbucks Ltd.
Avani Saglani Davda, who has worked for the Tata Group for over a decade, will be chief executive. Most recently, she served in the vice chairman’s office of Tata Global Beverages, where she was responsible for marketing and business development and helped forge the Starbucks partnership.
The joint venture said in January that it aimed to open 50 Starbucks outlets in India by year’s end.
While that ambitious goal won’t be achieved, the store opening is a tangible vote of confidence in India’s beleaguered economy.
