Wow! Time to include South Indian filter coffee into Starbucks so we show the world what a coffee really is! It’s an experience to drink South Indian filter coffee.
I had the pleasure to work as a Store Manager in the early 2000's when working for this company was a blast and a privilege, the best best benefits, best leadership team and I believe the best two CEOs the Starbucks has ever had are Orin Smith and Jim Donald, really will be hard to beat these two legends in business.
Starbucks always has a sovereignty or predominance over coffee industry arena . It rapidly unroll or expound inauguration of branches and flatten or grade the paveway towards this . I personally feel so rejoiced anc gratified and thrilled everytime i go there to bask some sips of coffee . I hope they dilate their network in ksa , still prices ceiling is irrational .
Starbucks stopped caring about experience and just thinks expansion is going to save it. Sorry, that's not why people stopped going. Look at Sweet Greens, they're doing well for a reason.....
Great company founded by a super intelligent guy now shall reach even greater heights with a great young and refreshing mind for its ambitious growth plans !! Congratulations Starbucks and Laxman !!!!
U do know that this is the US ploy to make India a more substantial partner in Asia in the face of rising threat from china right? All they're doing is attracting brilliant minds from your country to go to the US and work for them .
@@flyeagle320 nobody thinks of Irish Americans as Irishman. Everything these indian CEOs will contribute and achieve will directly benefit American culture and more importantly the American economy. The millions of kids they'll inspire in India will dream of moving to America one day and achieving success like these men in the US.
@@alfblue4734 But still American need Indian to prosper . This shows that India is core to world development . Once Politics in India become correct . In no time India too will overtake USA . Don't forget India already in 5th position
☕Key takeaway is the USA has a mature market and the brand is growing strong in Asia. Two different buckets. Retention strategy is key in USA. To keep the loyal customers happy but in Asia it is all about new customer acquisition. Tea is the primary drink in Asia.
@@sax_cy well they are not selling coffee, in Asia it seen as status symbol. Heck I saw many people in India keeping Starbucks cups as decoration. Starbucks is a formidable brand and as India westernise like East Asia they will be miles ahead of others in India. Don't underestimate west doing business remember East India company was just a business.
@@ajaxjaiswal3442 Completely agree Plus Starbuck have tieup with TATAs so they may succeed. But I personally hate Starbucks it's over priced. Plus they have competition from CCD which is also coming back.

Can you please name any great companies names you mentioned above which was started by Indian? Leading a already successful brand is not as great a thing like starting the a new brand and taking it to the helm of success.
@@bignavin10 no Indian company is there in terms of global reach but you see there is bias in your question. It's not a fair compitition tbh because India was not the great influential market like the American one back then. You see most Indian companies didn't had the head start like American ones. Because you see India was a colony back till 1947. We had/have a lot of poverty, illiteracy etc. Also our growth was slow, not like China's. But see here a good example China they have companies that are now competing with yours now even though they are just 3/4 the size of your economy. You should note that even though the silicon valley was not built by Indians but they are manned by them from the start. They started as low level software engineers and not even 2 decades they are running them, successfully so. Don't think India has nothing to show for themselves you see India built its own silicon valley. It built small companies that American companies are investing in because they know future is in India not America. Next generation customers are here in India not in America. America is aging society whose future major industry will be of adult diapers. Infosys, TCS, freshworks, Flipkart, Ola etc are a few companies from India. Note them you're gonna hear about them a lot in coming years.
@@ajaxjaiswal3442 u do realize all the Indian companies u named are carbon copies of American companies made for the Indian market right?

The US is the real winner end of the day.
Noticed a number of Indians leaving comments. There are still a handful of few Indian CEOs which is not a big deal considering India got a huge population 1.5 billion people and they immigrate the most to all other countries.
