Industrialist and philanthropist Anand Mahindra, who also chairs the Board of the Naandi Foundation, expressed his gratitude to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for his unwavering support in uplifting the underprivileged and driving impactful initiatives.
Taking to X, Mahindra praised Naidu’s forward-thinking business ideas, which have a lasting impact. His response came after Naidu suggested incorporating design elements to celebrate the tribal heritage of Araku Coffee, which recently launched a café in the heart of Paris.
Mahindra highlighted that every Araku Café features a map showcasing the coffee-growing terroir, reinforcing its deep-rooted connection to the region. The first Araku Café was opened in Bengaluru’s Indira Nagar, and the brand has now expanded globally. Additionally, Araku Coffee was recently introduced at the Indian Parliament, offering parliamentarians a taste of the rich, organic coffee from Andhra Pradesh’s lush Araku Valley.
The journey of Araku Coffee from a remote, naxal-affected region to an internationally recognized brand began with developmental economist Manoj Kumar, whose efforts through the Naandi Foundation have fostered sustainable livelihoods for tribal farmers. Mahindra also noted that Paris’ Araku Cafés feature digital screens looping visuals of Araku’s tribal life, further promoting its cultural richness.
The packaging of Araku Coffee is also uniquely designed, drawing inspiration from the vibrant attire of the region’s tribal communities and India’s diverse colors.
Beyond coffee, Naidu continues to position Andhra Pradesh on the global map through pioneering initiatives in artificial intelligence, drone manufacturing, and sustainable resource-based industries. Under his leadership, the state is gaining much-needed recognition and economic growth, leaving the electorate reassured about their choice in governance.
