Suhas, the founder of Benki Brewing Tools, Benki Coffee, and SCAI (Specialty Coffee Association of India), isn’t just another coffee enthusiast he’s a National Barista Champion. He mastered the art of coffee here in India and brought home the First Place title, and now he’s representing India at the World Barista Championship.
This is more than just a competition. It’s about putting Indian coffee on the global map and showing the world the skill, quality, and passion our country’s coffee culture holds.
But here’s the challenge competing at the world stage costs ₹27,00,000. This covers training, travel, equipment, coffee sourcing, and the endless behind-the-scenes effort it takes to prepare for a championship of this scale.
