Kelachandra Coffee, India’s largest privately-owned coffee plantation company, will represent the country at the World of Coffee 2025 event, taking place from May 15 to 17 at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) in Indonesia. This year marks the first time the global coffee event will be hosted in a coffee-producing Asian nation.
Based in Bengaluru, Kelachandra Coffee is known for its Rainforest Alliance-certified, shade-grown beans cultivated in the biodiversity-rich Western Ghats. The company will showcase its premium offerings through cupping sessions, sustainability panels, and a dedicated booth at the event. As India’s coffee exports have soared to $1.54 billion—a 40% increase over the previous year—Kelachandra aims to spotlight Indian coffee’s growing presence in the global specialty market.
“India has entered an exciting new era in coffee, moving beyond commodity production to become a serious contender in the specialty segment,” said Neleema Rana George, Head of Coffee Works and Technology at Kelachandra. “At World of Coffee 2025 Jakarta, we’re proud to showcase the richness, diversity, and innovation of our shade-grown, ethically cultivated beans.”
Kelachandra cultivates coffee across 15 estates covering more than 6,300 acres. The company combines traditional farming practices with modern agro-technologies and prioritizes sustainability through methods like agroforestry, intercropping, and soil and water conservation. These efforts support biodiversity, enhance soil health, and contribute to carbon sequestration.
