C. S. Nitin — Director, Cothas Coffee Co.
C. S. Nitin is the Director of Cothas Coffee Co., the Bengaluru coffee house that has been part of Indian homes since 1949. Choosing to return to the family business, he has taken on the task of carrying a trusted legacy forward — protecting the taste and standards built over generations while readying the company for a new era of consumers.
Under his leadership, Cothas has grown well beyond its heritage roots. The portfolio today spans filter coffee powder, decoction, instant coffee, cold beverages and specialty coffee beans, reaching consumers across modern retail, e-commerce, quick commerce, vending and international markets. Closer to home, the brand runs 75+ company-owned, company-operated stores across South India, bringing the Cothas experience directly to customers.
His guiding belief is a simple one: honour the legacy, embrace change, and take Cothas into its future.
