Premium coffee brand accelerates India expansion with immersive retail pavilion at Jio World Drive
Nespresso has marked its official retail entry into Mumbai with the launch of its first store in the city at Jio World Drive, Bandra Kurla Complex, strengthening its presence in one of India’s most influential cultural and commercial hubs.
The move comes amid rising demand for premium, in-home coffee experiences, with increasingly discerning consumers driving growth in the high-quality coffee segment. Mumbai, seen as a key market in this evolution, is expected to play a pivotal role in the brand’s next phase of expansion in India.
The new outlet—designed as an immersive pavilion rather than a conventional café—offers a curated retail experience that blends accessibility with coffee craftsmanship. The space is built to engage both new and existing consumers through product discovery, sensory exploration and personalised consultations aimed at decoding individual taste preferences.
Nespresso’s full portfolio of coffees, machines and accessories will be available through its India partner, Thakral Innovations Pvt. Ltd, which continues to support the brand’s distribution and retail strategy in the country.
Commenting on the launch, Manish Tiwary, Chairman and Managing Director of Nestlé India, said Mumbai’s dynamic consumer base makes it a natural fit for the brand’s expansion. He added that the new pavilion is designed to offer coffee lovers an elevated and interactive experience.
Renaud Tinel, Head of Zone Asia Pacific at Nespresso, emphasised that India is a strategic priority market for the brand. He noted that growing consumer appreciation for premium coffee is encouraging Nespresso to deepen its footprint and expand access across key urban centres.
The Mumbai launch follows Nespresso’s recent expansion in Gurugram and marks the brand’s third store in India, signalling an accelerating retail footprint.
Globally, Nespresso operates in 93 markets and partners with over 168,000 farmers across 18 countries through its sustainability initiatives. The company is also part of the global B Corp movement, reflecting its focus on environmental and social responsibility.
