The story was shared on X by doctor Anshul Sadhale, who recounted meeting a barista from Nagaland with an ambitious vision and the dedication to make it a reality.
Building a dream from the ground up
According to Sadhale, the young entrepreneur is pursuing a Master’s degree in English Literature while simultaneously working a side job and preparing to launch his own café.
Over the past four years, he has reportedly built valuable contacts across Bengaluru and secured a location for his future venture. He has also been working to establish a supply chain that sources coffee beans directly from Nagaland.
The café aims to introduce Bengaluru residents to Nagaland’s coffee, cuisine and cultural heritage.
