Starbucks plans to open stores in India

Starbucks plans to open outlets in India in collaboration with Tata.

The first coffee shops would be opened on a 50-50 joint partnership with Tata Global Beverages by September in the Indian cities of Delhi and Mumbai.

"We're going to move as fast as possible in opening as many stores as we can so long as we are successful and so long as we are embraced by the Indian consumers," said president of Starbucks China and Asia Pacific, John Culver.

The coffee shops are going to be branded  "Starbucks Coffee: A Tata Alliance".
