Introduction
Started in 1996 in Bangalore by V.G. Siddhartha, chairman Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading Co. on Brigade Road as a cyber caf. Lack of clear positioning leading to its loosing ground to its competitor Barista in 2002. CCD had 35 cafes as against 85 from Barista. Being the "third place" away from the home and college or workplace for the young and the young at heart brought CCD back on track in the race. Today by ranking of number of Cafs it occupies position 1 in India, 3 in Asia and 5 in the world. 1270 is the number of stores in India today indicated by a meter on its website. Sources of its competitive advantage Number of stores own plantations Business to supply furniture to cafes Hospitality college to provide trained staff
