Commenting on the new venture, Musthafa PC, CEO and co-founder of iD Fresh Food, said,
“There has always been a strong demand for our traditional Indian foods and beverages in the US market. We were waiting for the US FDA clearance to expand into this huge market that presents immense opportunities to widen our horizons. Given the encouraging coffee sales in India and the UAE, we decided to take the plunge with our latest offering. “
Musthafa added that the iD Fresh filter coffee is currently present in around 600 stores in the US. “Our aim is to reach 5,000 stores in the next six months, clocking in monthly revenues to the tune of Rs 1 crore. In India, we are expecting to touch Rs 300 crores from our coffee sales by mid-2020.”
A statement released by the company stated that between September 2018 and March 2019, iD filter coffee decoction registered sales worth Rs 6 crore in India, UAE, and the US.
