Gaurave Naarang is the Founder of Coffee Culture, a café lounge brand that he conceptualised in the early 2000s with the vision of creating a distinctive café experience rooted in food, community and local culture. Starting with its first outlet in Surat, Naarang developed Coffee Culture around a differentiated format that combines coffee and beverages with an extensive food offering, lively ambience and locally inspired experiences.
Under his leadership, Coffee Culture expanded through a franchise-led model, establishing a presence across multiple Indian cities. Naarang has focused on creating cafés that function as lifestyle and community spaces, with each outlet designed to reflect elements of its local environment rather than follow a standardised format.
Beyond Coffee Culture, Naarang has also been associated with restaurant consulting and other food and beverage ventures, bringing expertise in business strategy, franchising, restaurant operations and brand development. His entrepreneurial approach has centred on identifying evolving consumer preferences and creating differentiated F&B concepts for the Indian market.
