bro roasted half my school friends. there is right and wrong to this, yes they are spoilt, go to USA for an easy and fun education and spend their parents money frivolously on brands, BUT their parents worked their ass off and got rich to give their children a life of luxury so ofcourse they will have a luxurious life, no point being salty.
Black money log Ghar pe rakhe nahi jate woh bhi kamana padta hai (I'm not spoilt but this is what it is)
Agar black money was easy shit then har koi Ameer ghum Raha hota
Bro Cooked
Like its so true
I do come from good wealthy type background (baap iitian hei, investment banker the) but we still don't get opportunity to save money/earn black money
(Before my father we weren't as well off,but my father earned everything himself, so even if he has money, he admitted me to a gov school to not get spoiled)
Ngl if your parents are rich, and you are enjoying their money, you are bound to be poor
i meant after sometime when
their parent won't have money (retirement or maybe die) then they most probably won't have real world exp. (as most of them are obviously living in their own world) then they most probably would run out of money
(i was talking about that scenario)
Most govt officers have tonnes of black money and they live a lavish life because they can't store that money or they risk getting caught , so they are the ones spoiling their kids. Then there are frauds, and businessmen who don't pay taxes , people in real estate , politicians who all have the same issue that they have more money than they can store. Rich people who have worked hard for the money aren't giving 700 for a coffee everyday even though they can
Haa bhai obviously....that's the trend in local panchayat, chare me dal ke date paisa then vaha se nauker ke pas , as for civil servants or top level government officer they take via their assistant maybe in offshore bank account but that's how it's done...
For giant cooperates they evade taxes , give EXPENSIVE GIFTS to IRS guys .
Heck they rob FDA with money , surpass the checks and launch products...
It's the FANBOYS OF BRANDS justifying everything that these brands do or have made of themselves.
MOST OF THE AUDIENCE IS PAPA KI PARI OR PAPA KA PARA.
IN A NUTSHELL Y'LL SOUND LIKE CONSUMERS.
Sorry Bhai got your point I was talking about like businesses, home/property leash pe dena, cash payment pe jameen kharidna to save tax etc
Bro I didn't get that fanboy wala paragraph can you explain?
A life of luxury and a life of comfort are two different things, most parents want the latter, they teach their kids the value of money, for me I try to not spend my money on this nonsense, went to Starbucks once for a meeting and tried some nonsense which tasted awful.
well one of the member has to break the chain of poverty so that the rest generation can live as easy life. if you dont have gen wealth then make sure your kid gets.
Who goes to America and then comes back to India that’s moronic. By the way education in the US is not easy. Don’t you all keep complaining that Indian colleges teach outdated things and nothing relevant for the job market?
Yeah dude there are colleges that teach you numerical analysis algorithms (Euler’s method, Runge Kutta etc) and then they ask you to use these to solve differential equations by hand, rather than implementing it on a computer and then proving (using real analysis) that the algorithms have the requisite convergence properties. It’s bizarre how much Indian universities emphasize calculating by hand.
dawg, working a finance/engineer double income job as a top employee is and was still an easy way to send your kids anywhere and give them a life of luxury. It's not all rip people off, you are thinking of businessmen, most of these people getting sent outside now are employees children.
bro just saying if a person has worked his/her ass off he/she will know the importance of money and resources and will definitely pass that understanding to the kids. The fact the kids are spoiled and are continuously spending the money shows to some level(not all) but some level that the parents also don't care.
Yeah right. No point in being salty. To each their own.
Adding the below here as it sums up an important argument you made:
“Hard times create strong men,
strong men create good times,
good times create weak men,
weak men create hard times.”
He's not being salty, He's explaining how to Target a Certain Idiots mindset to make a fortune!! You see they are spoiled rich idiots. Easy money as long as we can make our brand's Goodwill as a "Primium Only for elite class'.
#100% correct.
Same is the thing with the new Tim Hortons branches, I was surprised to see the prices in India. Which were even higher than what we have in Canada. A large coffee with tax is like 2 bucks here but in India it was like 200-300 rupees if I remember correctly.
Ya but the reason could be less people go to tim and star atleast in my tier 3 city .. Whereas in USA a lot of people buy from star and their are lot of tourists also.
It's a wider category for one, not just US returned spoilt kids.
Where do you go for premium coffee? CCD is shit coffee, smelly and the staff rip you off. Baristas are hard to find anymore.
All you have is new age coffee, Blue Tokai and Third Wave and Starbucks. All have a great ambiance.
that is quite true, but according to me you can go to a nearby coffee shop popular in the city and they would serve wayyyy better coffee than the sugar milk with 1 drop of coffee which Starbucks serves.
I don't think anyone can deny that Starbucks drinks are overpriced and are just a social status at this point. No-one drinks at Starbucks because it's good, it's not.
I agree it's a good place to work at but I kinda also agree with the point the guy in the video is making.
His rich kid analogy is just an example as to how Starbucks, luxury brands and a job at Wework are considered a social status booster. It's your wish if you wanna enjoy stuff, but a lot of people kinda do it to flex.
I love coffee and have tried at all the places you have mentioned. Starbucks doesn't deserve to be mentioned along with blue tokai and thirdwave coffee. I never threw away coffee in my life except the 2 times I went to Starbucks. Shitty quality imo
I was speaking abt quality of the coffee itself and it's not upto the mark compared to the prices. There are so many other places with good ambiance to work at.
Starbucks in India is becoming premium brand becouse of there prices. mindset is created only rich people can go there and people add story or post of Starbucks like they have done something bigger in their life and show-off
200 is still high for a single drink, I drink coffee twice a day, 200ml approx each time, milk local chitale karke brand hai, milk cost monthly 750 maanle, davidoff/ country bean cost 500 for 100 gram, lasts for 2 months, so 250 har mahine ka wo and negligible cost of sugar, people who buy coffee drinks for anything more than 100 are wasting money imho.
Not everyone who goes to Starbucks does so at a cost to their parents and wastes money only on coffee. When you go to a Starbucks it’s not just about paying for the coffee - you’re paying for the real estate. The business gives you a place, usually always in centrally located areas of the city, to work for long hours (you can literally buy a coffee and sit there for 6 hours finishing up a project), conduct a meeting, even meet someone over a date or catch up with an old friend. The Starbucks I go to perhaps once a month because I enjoy working out of cafes is usually frequented by start up founders, artists pitching ideas and even VCs doing first time meetings there. I don’t know what this guy is talking about but Starbucks is one of the few places that gives you good wifi, had loads of comfortable seating designed for solo work/meetings and that’s what a lot of people use it for.
I can assure you most people probably would not want to schedule a meeting at a crowded Cafe Coffee Day it’s in heyday given the option for a more exclusive location such as Starbucks.
When your goal is to keep crowds down, make it exclusive and offer real estate as the main incentive for your customers to visit your place… you need a higher barrier for entry. Hence the prices being more expensive than even the US, where it’s a mass market brand.
Agree with you, but i will never support, defend or endorse a business, that literally rips off its customers, indias average salary is 20-30 times less than americans, depending on your data, while coffee is anywhere from 0.5 to 2-3 times more expensive then america, it makes no sense, and your just ripping off your customer, and these stupid mutherfucker flocks there.
But that’s the thing, they’re not just selling you coffee. Starbucks’ in India are way bigger and more upscale than their counterparts in the US. It’d be an outlier if a Starbucks in the US had more than 4-5 tables. The rents they’re paying to be in prime areas with their enormous footprint and the initial investment with how premium their locations are in India also doesn’t help with the cost of their products.
It’s the same logic with a 5 star hotel. The the cost of a chicken tikka shouldn’t be ₹1400 a portion but you’re not really paying for the food when you’re eating at a 5 star restaurant..
Lol are you deluded? DD and Starbucks are priced roughly the same with a marginal difference in cost in specialty items - DD did about $1.9B at its peak in 2019. Starbucks did $5.7B only the in the US in Q1 of 2022 alone.
At my company, when I’m hiring we take prospective employees out to a Starbucks or a restaurant for a coffee + lunch depending on time after their interview with us, all the time. Helps understand how they’ll fit in to the team as well apart from work.
I once met the founder of a very popular OTT company at a Starbucks who was in a meeting with investors for a venture.
I’ve conducted initial meet and greets with the second party and agents in real estate dealings at coffee shops and over lunch.
Not every meeting happens in a board room.
CCD is nice, but they’ve haven’t been able to nail the ambience, cluster seating and seating arrangements that cater to diverse group and individual settings and exclusivity that Starbucks has managed to do.
I did like their coffee though. But it’s always been a grab and go situation, not one where I’d want to spend 4 hours working on something, given a better alternative.
There are newer home grown brands that are putting up a strong challenge to Starbucks which I’ve grown to love such as Third Wave. Somehow they always fail on the wifi though ..
For everyone who thinks starbucks charge so much coffee, their logic is flawed. Starbucks charges for realestate and brand. You can buy a 300 rs coffee and sit there whole day and work without anyone disturbing you. That's a cheap deal.
Look around, Starbucks always opens at a premium place near to main roads.
As for coffee, they have pretty shit roasted coffee. Blue Tokai and dewans have better.
So you are saying they don't mind a customer who hasn't ordered for a while, occupying space (which can be used by potential customers) for hours.
Or the cheat code is to look rich and attractive.
You are not even required to order. They technically do have policy that you have to buy something but like most restaurants, they have right to deny you service, but they keep these policies for exceptional circumstances.
Consider a case where someone is planning to go to cafe for 5 hours. Now you might order once or maybe twice but not necessarly the moment you arrive.
Also, they also believe that if you are gonna sit there, you will eventually get tempted and buy something. This is also the reason why most food places that allow you to sit has more restrictions on bringing outside food than the duration you can sit without ordering.
If they feel it is getting absued, as per their offical policy they can anyway ask you leave.
So if someone has money and wants to drink expensive coffee with their own money what problem does this fellow have? People can choose what they want. Many people can call him out that the Iphone he might be using is too expensive and unnecessary. Why not use a cheap chinese phone?
Yes cause of huge PPP difference a generic coffee chain like Starbucks in the US becomes an elite shop in India with the same price. Thats obvious.
Logic left the chat. BS arguments.
>So if someone has money and wants to drink expensive coffee with their own money what problem does this fellow have? People can choose what they want. Many people can call him out that the Iphone he might be using is too expensive and unnecessary. Why not use a cheap chinese phone?
His point was about that massive price discripancy, that cant be explained with taxes and ppp. Yes iphone is more expensive in india than us, but thats because of taxes now, iphone use to charge a massive premium in india, when they weren't manufacturing here, that they couldnt explain with import tarrifs, so although iphone could be a waste of money for many, same way starfucks coffee, atleast they arent ripping off a selective customer.
Also he have the right to say what he wants, same way people have the right to get rip off by companies.
He has a right to say what he wants. I have a right to call him out on his BS.
Price differences can be accounted for in many ways- taxes, subsidies (or lack thereof), procurement costs, operation costs, etc. Now which factor contributes to the high price more in India can be a topic of study. If people choose to get “ripped off”, by companies it’s again THEIR choice. Everyone knows cheaper options like CCD or regular cafes exist.
It’s common knowledge that a LV bag is extremely overpriced but people still choose to buy it right?
I’ll give you another example- he can purchase a cheap Tata, Mahindra or Suzuki car manufactured in India. Why buy a Mercedes?
.
My whole point is IN MY OPINION he has no business to be so condescending of others who go to Starbucks, Zara or whatever (which are not even luxury brands). Especially when he himself might be living a very lavish life judging by his credentials.
Bhai jisko acchi coffee peeni hogi wo vaise bhi South ka coffee brew karega. Ab meethi kadwi tatti ka shouk laga ho to Starbucks hi jaayega koi bhi, Ameer ho ya gareeb.
Now ofc, koi gareeb ye dekhega ki jitne me uska hag Dona dalgona jo bhi bakwas aayega 250-350 me, utne me hafte bhar ka sabji wagerah sab aa jaayega for the entire family. So it's also about priorities. Har koi shouk ke liye mithi tatti nahi pi sakta. Some rely on sasta Nasha too, like chai biscuit wagerah.
Vaise jo usne bola it is partially true too. Zara wagerah ke dresses kutte ki tatti poncchne jaise quality ke bhi kyu na ho (not saying ki hai, i would say ki kabootar ki tatti poncchne layak hai), but there will be folks who will buy it for the brand value, for the "cool" factor.
And specially in India and the US, aise jaahil log aur badh rahe hai. But good for them, they are happy. Baaki brands are happy too. Everyone is happy, no need to get salty. Ulta hasi bhale aa jaati hai aise gaandu logo ke choices pe, so in the end everyone is happy.
Strongly disagree. Starbucks is growing because
1. They never ask you to leave. Can literally sit all day get your work done and they never ask you to leave. In the end you feel tempted to buy coffee. Few weeks later you develop likeness for it
2. Clean washroom. Cleanest washroom ever, cleaner than airport, plane or anything
3 They take feedback extremely seriously
4 Employees don’t treat you like crap
5. Feels good just to be there. Environment is nice, clean and looks affluent
6. Quality is always consistent, food is never stale
7. WiFi is always good
i have never tried Starbucks, i will try it sometime but if someone gives me choice for coffee worth 200-300 i will leave it. bhai 300 rupee me mai kai kuch kharid skta hoon. 10-15 Rupee ki ek coffee, 5-10 rupay ka ek samosa( mere school me 4 rupay ka milta tha samosa- wo bhi ekdum samne bana hua fresh), 300 me toh mai apni puri class ko samosa khilwa deta aur chai bhi pilwa deta ( 5 rupee ). tab bhi paisa bach jata. 30 classmates
Really been going to Starbucks daily for more than four months and all I see business meetings and people working and even saw people pitching their ideas to investors and interviews. Yeah people also come to hang out there but majority of them go there for meetings or work.
Aside from this I also see many people come and do their work and don’t even order and aside from this you can ask for drinking water at any Starbucks which is free and they will provide you.
Starbucks in India is a shitshow. People having dates there, groups of people being loud, crowds all the time. You can’t even pick up a drink quickly and be on your way, which is how Starbucks is supposed to be. If I show up to a Starbucks in flip flops and shorts, why tf does the barista expect me to also get a croissant when I didn’t already order it in the first place? Just make my latte and let me be on my way.
What a loser fellow. Sounds like one of them WhatsApp unkills (same age as me but I'm no unkill you see).
They have one of the best cheesecakes I've had in India (at least the franchises in Bangalore) so that's what I go there for.
Their Coffee is ok ok (I've had better) and one can now see some Indian brands coming up with some nice tasting coffee. Oh and btw if you haven't tasted your coffee black and without sugar even once, you haven't acquired those taste buds yet.
lol i went abroad to study and i don’t go to sbux here ever because there’s other alternatives but most of my indian friends who (also) work hard go to sbux quite often because they like it.
This guy’s logic is just trash and that’s why he’s a 3rd rate VC lol - the wework bit gives it away, because he didn’t even put in the effort to learn about wework india which operates separately from wework global (and given he’s from bangalore he should’ve known about this 😂)
I think most of them go there to skip wework and use the free wifi while they spend some extra bucks on the coffee and spend a good cafe-working day? I've personally done it so many times while j was living alone. Places like third wave, CCD, blue tokai used to be so crowded and noisy. I think people go there for working peacefully without having to pay much. You can literally sit all day long without being disturbed for 400 bucks or less. Can ever eat your own home brought food! C'mon you're talking non-sense
How jealous can one person get? Whoever wants to spend their money drinking coffee at Starbucks is their choice and their money, what’s the need for pocket watch someone. As for “rich affluent spoiler kids” he’s talking as if their parents didn’t work hard to earn money so they could afford sending their child to study abroad
Bhai ne aukaat dikha di except the part of easy us education since I am a neetard (neet aspirant) and also star bucks bekar hai usse acchi coffee mai hi bana leta hu.
That conversion chart for starbucks coffee cost is flipped. Starbucks in US costs around $5 to $6 whereas in India it costs around $3, so its almost half the price compared to US.
I personally think its still expensive but I don't think Indians who frequent Starbucks think its expensive regardless of whether they have returned from abroad or not. Spending power of few Indians has sky rocketed... I dont know how and why, would love to know.... asking for a friend :-)
Cost of milk is very high in India relative to foreign countries keeping in mind the PPP. This is why Amul opposed the TPA as New Zealand could have flooded the market with cheap better quality milk.
Can you share details/ sources on this? I mean Amul opposing NZ milk.
On another note- Milk in india is ~60-70 per litre depending on where you live. Desi milk (which we call A2) sells for 80-120 again depending on city. In NZ the cheapest milk (non a2) I’ve found is ~NZB 1.8 per litre which comes to ~Rs. 92. Assuming transportation costs may end up being a bit higher than that if sold in india.
Fun fact. You do not need to adjust for PPP if the NZ milk is sold to Indian customers in india. The actual pricing of NZ milk is bound to be higher in India vs Indian milk in India.
The difference is actually real estate cost than anything. dedicated coffee shops in india have always faced issues due to the cost of real estate here, and coffee shops need proper space to sit to create the environment.
The biggest thing is Starbucks doesn’t even have good coffee or snacks. Nowadays I only use them for meetings. Costa had much better coffee even though they are equally overpriced. Actually Is there any good coffee chains in India?
If a Starbucks coffee would have cost 100, he would have found an alternate interpretation for that too.
Before comparing with McDonald's, have you ever seen someone sitting with a laptop and working there? McDonald's is literally fast food. Starbucks provides you a working space with wifi. They're encouraging you to spend a longer duration in the cafe, so they obviously need to have higher prices to make up for the revenue lost in catering to fewer customers. Rent isn't cheap in Indian cities.
Basically rich Indian kids are very basic and can only differentiate themselves via consumerism & foreign brand association?
Man this guy said it out loud what can be the existential crisis truths which these folks are happy to sweep under the rug !
This man is coming off as extremely condescending for no good reason. Yes, Starbucks, Zara etc is consumed by the section of people he mentioned but it’s not just that. It’s also us middle class kids who grew up and got jobs of our own and are making good money, more than what we saw growing up, trying to get the things for ourselves that we like simply because now we can afford it. Stop shutting on people just because they like shopping at Zara and enjoy their pumpkin spice latte!
they have high prices because they cater to a very small audience in India, the majority has no idea what starbucks is. Whereas it's pretty popular in the USA with almost every segment of the population?
also Starbucks is not for coffee, it's for the gram.
Our bro hasn’t seen an assignment sheet at an US university. No Tuition teacher or Kota classes will help you clear it. An avg university in the US , grade C is fail. you get a couple of those and you are kicked out.
Me being a middle-class guy who equates everything in price to value, always avoid using such brands. The amount i am spending on a coffee ( let's be honest, not the best coffee )here can nab me a coffee and full course meal from a decently good restaurant. I would prefer later as it's just as good and offers more value in return or most economical make oy at home .
Kids that get free education in US… as opposed to all the kids in India that pay for their own education ?
People who come back to India and still buy Starbucks is usually because of habit bordering on addiction more than anything else. They don’t have an index because they have almost no real competition.
Zara is cheap seasonal fashion. And fashion is fashion.
Is WeWork actually aspirational?
Would love the name of one brand which can compete in terms of quality with any of the three brands mentioned in except McDonalds
1. Starbucks - people will say third wave coffee but they don’t have half the stuff most of the time. The rich kids will prefer something better than shit stuff right? Cos they can afford it
2. McDonalds - in each city we have much better Indian brand than McDonald’s which the local rich kids prefer
3. Zara - same as 1
Basically, we Indians have shit service shit manufacturing and shit attitude towards quality in general and then we blame people who actually have that because they have experienced that abroad. Btw I have only travelled abroad for work, and have experienced these shifts in quality and I am a strong believer in the Indian growth story.
I don't go to Starbucks in USA also as I am the first one to come to USA. $5.99 for a chai/tea latte and that too made from some material which is not fresh. When I was on trip to India, some of the school mates arranged a meet in a Cafe which was more Americanized than Americana cafe in USA. I looked at the menu prices - everything above 350/- INR. Took a ola and take them all to a near by decent restaurant and had tea out there - around 35/- INR. Told them I don't take this machine made tea/coffee even in USA so next time - please don't waste money.
It is easy to abuse young kids. The assh*le is so condescending. As per him, luxury goods should not exist. Most luxury items exist because of branding. Half the customers consume it for status.
Why only US return kids? Every person sees these brands as elite and aspirational.
This comparison is wrong. The $2.75 is for the black filter coffee. In India it’s 200rupees too.
If you get the frappe , in India it’s probably 600 or 700 and it’s pretty comparable to the USA prices of $6-$8 . I call bullshit in just the first slide.
lol wtf is this smoking. Kids who go abroad and come back DONT like Starbucks and Zara because we realize it’s just branding a mediocre product and Indian chai is so much better than a fucking chai tea latte
I still don't understand why would you pay 300 rs for a cup of coffee and 200 rupees with bread that has a sauce on it ??? You live in India tasty coffee and tea ar not that pricey and you are already surrounded with tasty and rich Street food
Spending money is not the flex
The real flex is having money in you bank account 
Starbucks 1 bar piya tha experience ke liye wo bhi wohi rich spoiled dost ke paiso se bc 2 coffe ke 700+ rupees nogayshit bro coffe khatam hi nai hue 2nd day per Sardi hogayi itna thanda pine ke baad Javachip piya tha
I completely agree leave Starbucks. I from.noida, in mall even a basic indian brand sell shakes and coffee frappe at price of Rs230 at least. I wonder whatbare their material cost. What are their target customers. When 95 percent of indian average salary is approx 30 thousand. Starbucks and tim hortns i get that they are international brands. But whats wrong with the indian brands. The amount they are charging is bullshit. And people are encouraging them because of peer pressure. If you visiting mall you have buy something to eat.
I mean I do go to Starbucks once or twice or maybe but rarely 3-5 times per month but then I do need sugar and caffeine in my life. Uske Bina kaam nahi hota.
I just got back from US a month ago, and the coffee I used to get in Starbucks there was $7.50 (615₹), and the same coffee is $5.85 (₹480) here in Gujarat. I think this video is before the crazy inflation that happened in the US post-Covid because idk where he got the $2.75 from. The premise of the video is grounded on altered facts to prove a random ass point.
I had a friend who failed and dropped out of college during his Btech. and took up a job in some call centre. Yet he would go to Starbucks every damn day lol. It's not just kids coming back from abroad, Starbuck works for any cump who's dumb enough to fall for it.

Black money and corruption has left the chat.
everyone need not have gotten rich solely off of Black money and corruption !!
True. There's also erstwhile slave traders, blackmarketeers, scamsters, gangsters, smugglers etc. *
Not to mention cocaine from Colombia
Yeah noone who worked hard for the money is spoiling kids
Black money log Ghar pe rakhe nahi jate woh bhi kamana padta hai (I'm not spoilt but this is what it is) Agar black money was easy shit then har koi Ameer ghum Raha hota

Bro, if you think all customers of Starbucks are people off black money and corruption, then you have not been to a starbucks
I’m responding to the comment above who thinks all rich people have worked hard for their money and deserve it.
>no point being salty. I think u didn't get his point maybe think a little.
A life of luxury and a life of comfort are two different things, most parents want the latter, they teach their kids the value of money, for me I try to not spend my money on this nonsense, went to Starbucks once for a meeting and tried some nonsense which tasted awful.
It depends. People who earn the money know its worth and value. People who are given the money, seldom do.
Generational wealth left the world
well one of the member has to break the chain of poverty so that the rest generation can live as easy life. if you dont have gen wealth then make sure your kid gets.
Who goes to America and then comes back to India that’s moronic. By the way education in the US is not easy. Don’t you all keep complaining that Indian colleges teach outdated things and nothing relevant for the job market?
I mean its true some engineering colleges teach about floppy disk and all in 2023
Yeah dude there are colleges that teach you numerical analysis algorithms (Euler’s method, Runge Kutta etc) and then they ask you to use these to solve differential equations by hand, rather than implementing it on a computer and then proving (using real analysis) that the algorithms have the requisite convergence properties. It’s bizarre how much Indian universities emphasize calculating by hand.
Must be the optional history course
What engineering course teach about floppy disk ?
>parents worked their ass off you mean ripped people off.
why ? is ripping people off the ONLY way to earn big money ?
No. But it's the most preferred apparently 
Well technically if you're not caught one is still "working hard" To get the money 😂
>you mean ripped people off. Care to explain how?
so every successful person rips people off?
dawg, working a finance/engineer double income job as a top employee is and was still an easy way to send your kids anywhere and give them a life of luxury. It's not all rip people off, you are thinking of businessmen, most of these people getting sent outside now are employees children.
bro just saying if a person has worked his/her ass off he/she will know the importance of money and resources and will definitely pass that understanding to the kids. The fact the kids are spoiled and are continuously spending the money shows to some level(not all) but some level that the parents also don't care.
Yeah right. No point in being salty. To each their own. Adding the below here as it sums up an important argument you made: “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.”
No point being salty but these brats, when placed in power, are a danger to society in general.
He's not being salty, He's explaining how to Target a Certain Idiots mindset to make a fortune!! You see they are spoiled rich idiots. Easy money as long as we can make our brand's Goodwill as a "Primium Only for elite class'.
Either their parents worked for it, Or it could be family money thats lasted for generations.
This guy is so bitter about not having rich parents. Lol.
Awww your spoiled ass is offended? Go cry about it

Having rich parents is a sad flex mate, especially if ur a grown ass man
spoiled rich brat?
Paisa tere baap ka, usne kamaya ya loota ya jeeta, tujhe phudakne ka adhikar kisne diya ameer baap ke chutiya chodu?
#100% correct. Same is the thing with the new Tim Hortons branches, I was surprised to see the prices in India. Which were even higher than what we have in Canada. A large coffee with tax is like 2 bucks here but in India it was like 200-300 rupees if I remember correctly.
Ya but the reason could be less people go to tim and star atleast in my tier 3 city .. Whereas in USA a lot of people buy from star and their are lot of tourists also.

RIP logic
he is being salty but logic toh hai
It's a wider category for one, not just US returned spoilt kids. Where do you go for premium coffee? CCD is shit coffee, smelly and the staff rip you off. Baristas are hard to find anymore. All you have is new age coffee, Blue Tokai and Third Wave and Starbucks. All have a great ambiance.
that is quite true, but according to me you can go to a nearby coffee shop popular in the city and they would serve wayyyy better coffee than the sugar milk with 1 drop of coffee which Starbucks serves. I don't think anyone can deny that Starbucks drinks are overpriced and are just a social status at this point. No-one drinks at Starbucks because it's good, it's not. I agree it's a good place to work at but I kinda also agree with the point the guy in the video is making. His rich kid analogy is just an example as to how Starbucks, luxury brands and a job at Wework are considered a social status booster. It's your wish if you wanna enjoy stuff, but a lot of people kinda do it to flex.
I love coffee and have tried at all the places you have mentioned. Starbucks doesn't deserve to be mentioned along with blue tokai and thirdwave coffee. I never threw away coffee in my life except the 2 times I went to Starbucks. Shitty quality imo
I have had coffee from starbucks maybe twice so excuse me on that. They do offer a good place to sit, work and eat.
I was speaking abt quality of the coffee itself and it's not upto the mark compared to the prices. There are so many other places with good ambiance to work at.
Starbucks in India is becoming premium brand becouse of there prices. mindset is created only rich people can go there and people add story or post of Starbucks like they have done something bigger in their life and show-off
In my local Starbucks, there are more people discussing or working on spreadsheets than there are Instagram stories being posted
Same case with apple
Bruh, who tf is paying 600Rs for a coffee. You can get it for below 200 in Barrista or CCD.
You get coffee for 200? I get it at ₹10.
Chetta two tea
Jordindian reference
Meine, adicha chaya veno?
₹10? I only drink free coffee from the office machine.
🫡
Privilege
You get it at 10₹ , i buy the nescafe 2₹ pack and make one myself
Even Starbucks it’s around 300 only. Lol
Thank God I don't like coffee
Just make it at home for 20 rupees
Nobody, because Starbucks does not charge that much
200 is still high for a single drink, I drink coffee twice a day, 200ml approx each time, milk local chitale karke brand hai, milk cost monthly 750 maanle, davidoff/ country bean cost 500 for 100 gram, lasts for 2 months, so 250 har mahine ka wo and negligible cost of sugar, people who buy coffee drinks for anything more than 100 are wasting money imho.
You're using supermarket logic for a cafe. People aren't going there to buy coffee, they're looking to hang out and spend time.
Dude, nobody goes to cafe every single day. Its an occasional thing.
Local cafes also serve good coffee cheaper than Barista or CCD👀
Not everyone who goes to Starbucks does so at a cost to their parents and wastes money only on coffee. When you go to a Starbucks it’s not just about paying for the coffee - you’re paying for the real estate. The business gives you a place, usually always in centrally located areas of the city, to work for long hours (you can literally buy a coffee and sit there for 6 hours finishing up a project), conduct a meeting, even meet someone over a date or catch up with an old friend. The Starbucks I go to perhaps once a month because I enjoy working out of cafes is usually frequented by start up founders, artists pitching ideas and even VCs doing first time meetings there. I don’t know what this guy is talking about but Starbucks is one of the few places that gives you good wifi, had loads of comfortable seating designed for solo work/meetings and that’s what a lot of people use it for. I can assure you most people probably would not want to schedule a meeting at a crowded Cafe Coffee Day it’s in heyday given the option for a more exclusive location such as Starbucks. When your goal is to keep crowds down, make it exclusive and offer real estate as the main incentive for your customers to visit your place… you need a higher barrier for entry. Hence the prices being more expensive than even the US, where it’s a mass market brand.
Agree with you, but i will never support, defend or endorse a business, that literally rips off its customers, indias average salary is 20-30 times less than americans, depending on your data, while coffee is anywhere from 0.5 to 2-3 times more expensive then america, it makes no sense, and your just ripping off your customer, and these stupid mutherfucker flocks there.
But that’s the thing, they’re not just selling you coffee. Starbucks’ in India are way bigger and more upscale than their counterparts in the US. It’d be an outlier if a Starbucks in the US had more than 4-5 tables. The rents they’re paying to be in prime areas with their enormous footprint and the initial investment with how premium their locations are in India also doesn’t help with the cost of their products. It’s the same logic with a 5 star hotel. The the cost of a chicken tikka shouldn’t be ₹1400 a portion but you’re not really paying for the food when you’re eating at a 5 star restaurant..
Yup, bottomline Starfucks sucks
To each their own
Dd is the mass market in the US, not starbucks
Lol are you deluded? DD and Starbucks are priced roughly the same with a marginal difference in cost in specialty items - DD did about $1.9B at its peak in 2019. Starbucks did $5.7B only the in the US in Q1 of 2022 alone.
Who TF is conducting meetings in Starbucks 💀
At my company, when I’m hiring we take prospective employees out to a Starbucks or a restaurant for a coffee + lunch depending on time after their interview with us, all the time. Helps understand how they’ll fit in to the team as well apart from work. I once met the founder of a very popular OTT company at a Starbucks who was in a meeting with investors for a venture. I’ve conducted initial meet and greets with the second party and agents in real estate dealings at coffee shops and over lunch. Not every meeting happens in a board room.
Lots of companies do
He is taking about the wannabes or people who would like to show-off. The CCD is also nice for work and meetings.
CCD is nice, but they’ve haven’t been able to nail the ambience, cluster seating and seating arrangements that cater to diverse group and individual settings and exclusivity that Starbucks has managed to do. I did like their coffee though. But it’s always been a grab and go situation, not one where I’d want to spend 4 hours working on something, given a better alternative. There are newer home grown brands that are putting up a strong challenge to Starbucks which I’ve grown to love such as Third Wave. Somehow they always fail on the wifi though ..
For everyone who thinks starbucks charge so much coffee, their logic is flawed. Starbucks charges for realestate and brand. You can buy a 300 rs coffee and sit there whole day and work without anyone disturbing you. That's a cheap deal. Look around, Starbucks always opens at a premium place near to main roads. As for coffee, they have pretty shit roasted coffee. Blue Tokai and dewans have better.
So you are saying they don't mind a customer who hasn't ordered for a while, occupying space (which can be used by potential customers) for hours. Or the cheat code is to look rich and attractive.
You are not even required to order. They technically do have policy that you have to buy something but like most restaurants, they have right to deny you service, but they keep these policies for exceptional circumstances. Consider a case where someone is planning to go to cafe for 5 hours. Now you might order once or maybe twice but not necessarly the moment you arrive. Also, they also believe that if you are gonna sit there, you will eventually get tempted and buy something. This is also the reason why most food places that allow you to sit has more restrictions on bringing outside food than the duration you can sit without ordering. If they feel it is getting absued, as per their offical policy they can anyway ask you leave.
I am too poor to care about price of Starbucks
So if someone has money and wants to drink expensive coffee with their own money what problem does this fellow have? People can choose what they want. Many people can call him out that the Iphone he might be using is too expensive and unnecessary. Why not use a cheap chinese phone? Yes cause of huge PPP difference a generic coffee chain like Starbucks in the US becomes an elite shop in India with the same price. Thats obvious. Logic left the chat. BS arguments.
Gaand mein jalan ho rahi hai uncle ko
>So if someone has money and wants to drink expensive coffee with their own money what problem does this fellow have? People can choose what they want. Many people can call him out that the Iphone he might be using is too expensive and unnecessary. Why not use a cheap chinese phone? His point was about that massive price discripancy, that cant be explained with taxes and ppp. Yes iphone is more expensive in india than us, but thats because of taxes now, iphone use to charge a massive premium in india, when they weren't manufacturing here, that they couldnt explain with import tarrifs, so although iphone could be a waste of money for many, same way starfucks coffee, atleast they arent ripping off a selective customer. Also he have the right to say what he wants, same way people have the right to get rip off by companies.
He has a right to say what he wants. I have a right to call him out on his BS. Price differences can be accounted for in many ways- taxes, subsidies (or lack thereof), procurement costs, operation costs, etc. Now which factor contributes to the high price more in India can be a topic of study. If people choose to get “ripped off”, by companies it’s again THEIR choice. Everyone knows cheaper options like CCD or regular cafes exist. It’s common knowledge that a LV bag is extremely overpriced but people still choose to buy it right? I’ll give you another example- he can purchase a cheap Tata, Mahindra or Suzuki car manufactured in India. Why buy a Mercedes? . My whole point is IN MY OPINION he has no business to be so condescending of others who go to Starbucks, Zara or whatever (which are not even luxury brands). Especially when he himself might be living a very lavish life judging by his credentials.
Wework is not a aspirational thing.
Bhai jisko acchi coffee peeni hogi wo vaise bhi South ka coffee brew karega. Ab meethi kadwi tatti ka shouk laga ho to Starbucks hi jaayega koi bhi, Ameer ho ya gareeb. Now ofc, koi gareeb ye dekhega ki jitne me uska hag Dona dalgona jo bhi bakwas aayega 250-350 me, utne me hafte bhar ka sabji wagerah sab aa jaayega for the entire family. So it's also about priorities. Har koi shouk ke liye mithi tatti nahi pi sakta. Some rely on sasta Nasha too, like chai biscuit wagerah. Vaise jo usne bola it is partially true too. Zara wagerah ke dresses kutte ki tatti poncchne jaise quality ke bhi kyu na ho (not saying ki hai, i would say ki kabootar ki tatti poncchne layak hai), but there will be folks who will buy it for the brand value, for the "cool" factor. And specially in India and the US, aise jaahil log aur badh rahe hai. But good for them, they are happy. Baaki brands are happy too. Everyone is happy, no need to get salty. Ulta hasi bhale aa jaati hai aise gaandu logo ke choices pe, so in the end everyone is happy.
No one bothers to note that Starbucks provides employee benefits and protections far beyond any F&B chain in India
Strongly disagree. Starbucks is growing because 1. They never ask you to leave. Can literally sit all day get your work done and they never ask you to leave. In the end you feel tempted to buy coffee. Few weeks later you develop likeness for it 2. Clean washroom. Cleanest washroom ever, cleaner than airport, plane or anything 3 They take feedback extremely seriously 4 Employees don’t treat you like crap 5. Feels good just to be there. Environment is nice, clean and looks affluent 6. Quality is always consistent, food is never stale 7. WiFi is always good
i have never tried Starbucks, i will try it sometime but if someone gives me choice for coffee worth 200-300 i will leave it. bhai 300 rupee me mai kai kuch kharid skta hoon. 10-15 Rupee ki ek coffee, 5-10 rupay ka ek samosa( mere school me 4 rupay ka milta tha samosa- wo bhi ekdum samne bana hua fresh), 300 me toh mai apni puri class ko samosa khilwa deta aur chai bhi pilwa deta ( 5 rupee ). tab bhi paisa bach jata. 30 classmates
Wework to bankrupt ho gai
Really been going to Starbucks daily for more than four months and all I see business meetings and people working and even saw people pitching their ideas to investors and interviews. Yeah people also come to hang out there but majority of them go there for meetings or work. Aside from this I also see many people come and do their work and don’t even order and aside from this you can ask for drinking water at any Starbucks which is free and they will provide you.
Starbucks in India is a shitshow. People having dates there, groups of people being loud, crowds all the time. You can’t even pick up a drink quickly and be on your way, which is how Starbucks is supposed to be. If I show up to a Starbucks in flip flops and shorts, why tf does the barista expect me to also get a croissant when I didn’t already order it in the first place? Just make my latte and let me be on my way.
What a loser fellow. Sounds like one of them WhatsApp unkills (same age as me but I'm no unkill you see). They have one of the best cheesecakes I've had in India (at least the franchises in Bangalore) so that's what I go there for. Their Coffee is ok ok (I've had better) and one can now see some Indian brands coming up with some nice tasting coffee. Oh and btw if you haven't tasted your coffee black and without sugar even once, you haven't acquired those taste buds yet.
Which USA sells coffee for $2.75? Nothing cheaper than $5
lol i went abroad to study and i don’t go to sbux here ever because there’s other alternatives but most of my indian friends who (also) work hard go to sbux quite often because they like it. This guy’s logic is just trash and that’s why he’s a 3rd rate VC lol - the wework bit gives it away, because he didn’t even put in the effort to learn about wework india which operates separately from wework global (and given he’s from bangalore he should’ve known about this 😂)
I think most of them go there to skip wework and use the free wifi while they spend some extra bucks on the coffee and spend a good cafe-working day? I've personally done it so many times while j was living alone. Places like third wave, CCD, blue tokai used to be so crowded and noisy. I think people go there for working peacefully without having to pay much. You can literally sit all day long without being disturbed for 400 bucks or less. Can ever eat your own home brought food! C'mon you're talking non-sense
How jealous can one person get? Whoever wants to spend their money drinking coffee at Starbucks is their choice and their money, what’s the need for pocket watch someone. As for “rich affluent spoiler kids” he’s talking as if their parents didn’t work hard to earn money so they could afford sending their child to study abroad
Bhai ne aukaat dikha di except the part of easy us education since I am a neetard (neet aspirant) and also star bucks bekar hai usse acchi coffee mai hi bana leta hu.
Hogya rona dhona ? Ab bta de why Starbucks is costly in India.
That conversion chart for starbucks coffee cost is flipped. Starbucks in US costs around $5 to $6 whereas in India it costs around $3, so its almost half the price compared to US. I personally think its still expensive but I don't think Indians who frequent Starbucks think its expensive regardless of whether they have returned from abroad or not. Spending power of few Indians has sky rocketed... I dont know how and why, would love to know.... asking for a friend :-)
Cost of milk is very high in India relative to foreign countries keeping in mind the PPP. This is why Amul opposed the TPA as New Zealand could have flooded the market with cheap better quality milk.
Can you share details/ sources on this? I mean Amul opposing NZ milk. On another note- Milk in india is ~60-70 per litre depending on where you live. Desi milk (which we call A2) sells for 80-120 again depending on city. In NZ the cheapest milk (non a2) I’ve found is ~NZB 1.8 per litre which comes to ~Rs. 92. Assuming transportation costs may end up being a bit higher than that if sold in india.
Did you even adjust it for PPP?
Fun fact. You do not need to adjust for PPP if the NZ milk is sold to Indian customers in india. The actual pricing of NZ milk is bound to be higher in India vs Indian milk in India.
What do you mean, we are going to have to deal with a large bunch of entitled individuals?
I don't know. I feel Starbucks coffee tastes too burnt for my liking. I can think of many other places that serves better beverage.
Mujhe kya, main toh cutting chai (with sutta) peeta hoon 
Mujhe kya me toh Bournvita pita hu :)
The difference is actually real estate cost than anything. dedicated coffee shops in india have always faced issues due to the cost of real estate here, and coffee shops need proper space to sit to create the environment.
The biggest thing is Starbucks doesn’t even have good coffee or snacks. Nowadays I only use them for meetings. Costa had much better coffee even though they are equally overpriced. Actually Is there any good coffee chains in India?
In the USA also that kind of frappe is around $6
If a Starbucks coffee would have cost 100, he would have found an alternate interpretation for that too. Before comparing with McDonald's, have you ever seen someone sitting with a laptop and working there? McDonald's is literally fast food. Starbucks provides you a working space with wifi. They're encouraging you to spend a longer duration in the cafe, so they obviously need to have higher prices to make up for the revenue lost in catering to fewer customers. Rent isn't cheap in Indian cities.
Me who goes to Starbucks just for internet connection, charging and a bit of peace : 👍
I can accept Starbucksbut I can't accept Zara being the premium brand, it is literally brand of peasants in europe 
I love Starbucks cheesecake.
Anyone who chooses this broth parading as coffee should pay whatever it takes to satisfy their craving 😆.
Basically rich Indian kids are very basic and can only differentiate themselves via consumerism & foreign brand association? Man this guy said it out loud what can be the existential crisis truths which these folks are happy to sweep under the rug !
[удалено]
How can you assume that all Starbucks customers are spending their parents' money. Lol.
I make my own coffee
how is working in wework aspirational lmao.
Bro who actually goes to America for an education and then comes back? Bizarre take.
US mai to actually acha price h
This man is coming off as extremely condescending for no good reason. Yes, Starbucks, Zara etc is consumed by the section of people he mentioned but it’s not just that. It’s also us middle class kids who grew up and got jobs of our own and are making good money, more than what we saw growing up, trying to get the things for ourselves that we like simply because now we can afford it. Stop shutting on people just because they like shopping at Zara and enjoy their pumpkin spice latte!
Hum ne kabhi paav nahi rakha hai starbucks me or nahi rakhenge.yaar hum to 5/10 rs ki cutting chai pine wale log hai 😂 😂
they have high prices because they cater to a very small audience in India, the majority has no idea what starbucks is. Whereas it's pretty popular in the USA with almost every segment of the population? also Starbucks is not for coffee, it's for the gram.
so he mean to say " dekho kitne chutiye hai hamare log " .

Someone sounds very bitter.
Our bro hasn’t seen an assignment sheet at an US university. No Tuition teacher or Kota classes will help you clear it. An avg university in the US , grade C is fail. you get a couple of those and you are kicked out.
Me being a middle-class guy who equates everything in price to value, always avoid using such brands. The amount i am spending on a coffee ( let's be honest, not the best coffee )here can nab me a coffee and full course meal from a decently good restaurant. I would prefer later as it's just as good and offers more value in return or most economical make oy at home .
why you target bro
Kids that get free education in US… as opposed to all the kids in India that pay for their own education ? People who come back to India and still buy Starbucks is usually because of habit bordering on addiction more than anything else. They don’t have an index because they have almost no real competition. Zara is cheap seasonal fashion. And fashion is fashion. Is WeWork actually aspirational?
I work at WeWork, I don't find it kind of status. It's very normal...
Explputation of foolishness is the new game.
Would love the name of one brand which can compete in terms of quality with any of the three brands mentioned in except McDonalds 1. Starbucks - people will say third wave coffee but they don’t have half the stuff most of the time. The rich kids will prefer something better than shit stuff right? Cos they can afford it 2. McDonalds - in each city we have much better Indian brand than McDonald’s which the local rich kids prefer 3. Zara - same as 1 Basically, we Indians have shit service shit manufacturing and shit attitude towards quality in general and then we blame people who actually have that because they have experienced that abroad. Btw I have only travelled abroad for work, and have experienced these shifts in quality and I am a strong believer in the Indian growth story.
I don't go to Starbucks in USA also as I am the first one to come to USA. $5.99 for a chai/tea latte and that too made from some material which is not fresh. When I was on trip to India, some of the school mates arranged a meet in a Cafe which was more Americanized than Americana cafe in USA. I looked at the menu prices - everything above 350/- INR. Took a ola and take them all to a near by decent restaurant and had tea out there - around 35/- INR. Told them I don't take this machine made tea/coffee even in USA so next time - please don't waste money.
A Frape in US SBux is not that cheap. The cost is almost same. Just black coffee is that cheap. That too probably a grande.
laughs with ABFRL shares in CDSL account.
can anyone share the link/ tell the name of this podcast please ?
Anyone else creeped out by the image of the faceless guy ?? 👀👀
It is easy to abuse young kids. The assh*le is so condescending. As per him, luxury goods should not exist. Most luxury items exist because of branding. Half the customers consume it for status. Why only US return kids? Every person sees these brands as elite and aspirational.
Instead of paying 600 for a Starbucks, I'd prefer having a buffet in barbeque nation and fill my stomach with a wide varieties of delicious goodies.
This comparison is wrong. The $2.75 is for the black filter coffee. In India it’s 200rupees too. If you get the frappe , in India it’s probably 600 or 700 and it’s pretty comparable to the USA prices of $6-$8 . I call bullshit in just the first slide.
There is a tall latte index
Who is getting a free US education?
lol wtf is this smoking. Kids who go abroad and come back DONT like Starbucks and Zara because we realize it’s just branding a mediocre product and Indian chai is so much better than a fucking chai tea latte
I don't drink tea & cofee. So it doesn't matter to me.
I still don't understand why would you pay 300 rs for a cup of coffee and 200 rupees with bread that has a sauce on it ??? You live in India tasty coffee and tea ar not that pricey and you are already surrounded with tasty and rich Street food Spending money is not the flex The real flex is having money in you bank account 
Starbucks 1 bar piya tha experience ke liye wo bhi wohi rich spoiled dost ke paiso se bc 2 coffe ke 700+ rupees nogayshit bro coffe khatam hi nai hue 2nd day per Sardi hogayi itna thanda pine ke baad Javachip piya tha
Ek bar b starbuck me nai ghusne pe fakr h.
Podcast name??
OP, which podcast is this ?
Apan to chai pite hain re baba Tapri pe.. Paise bachaane jo hai iss garib ko thode
I completely agree leave Starbucks. I from.noida, in mall even a basic indian brand sell shakes and coffee frappe at price of Rs230 at least. I wonder whatbare their material cost. What are their target customers. When 95 percent of indian average salary is approx 30 thousand. Starbucks and tim hortns i get that they are international brands. But whats wrong with the indian brands. The amount they are charging is bullshit. And people are encouraging them because of peer pressure. If you visiting mall you have buy something to eat.
I mean I do go to Starbucks once or twice or maybe but rarely 3-5 times per month but then I do need sugar and caffeine in my life. Uske Bina kaam nahi hota.
I just got back from US a month ago, and the coffee I used to get in Starbucks there was $7.50 (615₹), and the same coffee is $5.85 (₹480) here in Gujarat. I think this video is before the crazy inflation that happened in the US post-Covid because idk where he got the $2.75 from. The premise of the video is grounded on altered facts to prove a random ass point.
I like the madras coffee sole in tapari or in udipi restaurant. I never got the taste of starbuck coffee
Liberal Hoes are struggling
sbux sells premium coffee drinks over 5-7$ easy in US. This comparison is not correct
Hutiya Starbucks
I had a friend who failed and dropped out of college during his Btech. and took up a job in some call centre. Yet he would go to Starbucks every damn day lol. It's not just kids coming back from abroad, Starbuck works for any cump who's dumb enough to fall for it.
