Following the two-and-a-half-hour-long private screening, Binny Varghese and Natansh Bhayana, the creator and roaster of Saltoro, had a brief conversation with all the coffee enthusiasts. A Q&A session with both of them followed this, which provided an in-depth look at the Indian coffee market and what’s brewing there.

The global Indian Specialty Coffee Scene is flourishing, hence this is the perfect time!
This film explores the vitality that coffee offers to the modest but rapidly expanding group of Indian specialty coffee drinkers throughout the Subcontinent. It is cultural, organic, scientific, and creative while also transforming on an emotional, intellectual, and cultural level. It follows Binny, a barista, as he travels alone by bike across two countries, covering more than 15000 km, 100 days, and more than 50 places, where he discovers the unique COFFEE culture.
“I am really looking forward for everyone to watch the movie, both from within the country and outside. It shows a bit of what is it like in the Specialty Coffee Scene in India. I have a feeling that if you like coffee, you’d love to see this movie, and know a bit more about what people in this community have to say about it. “
– Binny Varghese, aka Barista on Bike.
“Café owners, coffee planters, roasters, consumers – we spoke to numerous people about what coffee means to them, what role it plays in their lives, and more. Different aspects of coffee were explored, from planting and roasting to selling it, as well as the role cafés play. We asked about 10-15 people the same questions. The idea was to know how things differ person to person – as individuals they have varied opinions as to how coffee affects their lives and livelihood.”
-Pratik Dey Chowdhury
