Dubai-born coffee shop brand, Blends & Brews has marked its first venture in India.

Operated under the hospitality division of UAE-based Thumbay Group, the first Indian venue for the brand has opened in Thumbay New Life Hospital in Hyderabad.

The outlet was inaugurated on Monday, 30May 2016 by Thumbay Moideen, founder president of Thumbay Group, in the presence of Akbar Moideen Thumbay, vice president of the healthcare division of the group, Akram Moideen Thumbay, director operations of the construction and renovation division and Dr. Mohammed Masood Ali Khan, founder of New Life Hospital.

The new outlet will offer Blends & Brews’ coffees and sugar-free beverages, cakes and cookies, which will also be available online in the near future.

Moideen Farhad C. commented: “This will be our value-added advantage, keeping in mind people who desist sugary products. We endeavor to establish our presence in all major cities of India. We strive to maintain and offer high quality products to our valued customers.”

Thumbay Group will add 100 Blends & Brews outlets to its portfolio over the next six to seven years, with franchise offers to be extended to partners in the MENA and India region.

Thumbay Moideen added: “We are confident that our Indian clientele will wholeheartedly accept the Dubai-born brand.”
