Message From The President
Greetings from me and my Team!!
We are happy to share that it has been a wonderful journey for the past 2 decades of SCAI (Speciality Coffee Association of India), seeing the turbulence and challenges enroute. It was quite satisfying, thanks to the support rendered by the coffee fraternity as a whole.
SCAI has been registered under the Society Act 1960 in 2022 which again is a significant milestone.
We observe that speciality coffee is going through the 4th wave and we as the association, along with other industry partners, are gearing up to face this situation as an opportunity.
Our Association has been grower-centric and we are keen to expand to larger coffee industry partners. From this point of view, we are keen to invite roasters and other industry entrepreneurs to be a part of the association –
- To share the knowledge
- To interact within and outside
- To contribute in any way
- So that the stakeholders of the coffee industry are mutually benefitted
And to also put Indian specialities in a prime place in the world market, as we all know that
Indian specialities are already enjoying a fair place now.
The industry is aware that the recently organised National Barista Championship (India) – 2022 was a roaring success and it is time now to capitalise on this achievement and do many more activities. We as a Team have many exciting ideas for the future. We need more exciting members to execute our thoughts and ideas.
Let's work together to make our dreams come true
~ D.M. Purnesh
Message From The Secretary
SCAI is an initiative to put India on the world map of Specialty Coffee bringing together the entire coffee value chain. We strive for India to be known as a Coffee producing country and to showcase Indian Coffee globally. Specialty coffee in simple terms is “Perfect coffee grown in Perfect Conditions “. This is not practical in reality and SCAI strives to share knowledge, expertise, and standards to make every coffee as perfect as possible. SCAI’s mission is to empower and inspire its members in coffee to learn, inspire, share and grow together while continuing to be Guardians of our Planet. The future belongs to those who can dream of achieving the Perfect Cup of Coffee
