Former employee turns 128-year-old Coorg family estate into ₹2 crore coffee brand

A Coorg planter who resigned from his job has transformed his family's 128-year-old estate into a direct-to-consumer enterprise generating ₹2 crore in annual revenue.

The venture, named Riverside Coffee, was established to build a modern brand out of the historic property, which has been in the founder's family for more than a century.

Operating strictly under a direct-to-consumer model, the coffee business is currently experiencing a growth rate of 30 percent.
