Kongsi Tea Bar opens new outlet inside Holiday Inn Racecourse, Bengaluru

Kongsi Tea Bar, Thailand's bubble tea brand, has launched its latest outlet inside Holiday Inn Racecourse Bengaluru. Located on Level 4 alongside Cafe G, this opening represents the brand's entry into a new vertical within the premium hospitality segment. The launch was held on December 12. The collaboration with Holiday Inn, a property managed by the global hospitality major the IHG group, highlights the growing emphasis international hotels are placing on curated beverage experiences. Founded in Phuket, Thailand, Kongsi Tea Bar has become an internationally recognised name with more than one hundred and fifty outlets across Thailand. Along with its signature Thai bubble teas, the brand offers a comprehensive menu that includes Non caffeinated Bubble Teas for children, Coffee Bobas, a wide range of Matcha beverages, Fruity Bubble Teas and its Coconut Series smoothies.

Kongsi Tea Bar's India journey is being spearheaded by Pulipati Enterprises Private Limited, which holds the exclusive brand rights for the Indian market. Founded by Deepak Pulipati, the entity oversees the brand's end to end presence in India, spanning strategy, market development, marketing, supply chain management, partnerships and overall brand stewardship. This integrated approach has played a key role in strengthening Kongsi Tea Bar's positioning and scaling its presence across major Indian cities.

The launch event was attended by the global management of Kongsi Tea Bar, who travelled from Thailand to celebrate the occasion with the Indian team. Adding further prominence to the event, the Brigade Group Chairman and Managing Director, M R Jaishankar, also graced the launch. Delegates from the IHG group were also in attendance, marking the moment as a noteworthy convergence of global hospitality and international beverage expertise.


Representatives from Holiday Inn Racecourse Bengaluru expressed enthusiasm about the addition of Kongsi Tea Bar, noting that the brand aligns with their ongoing efforts to enhance guest experience through globally relevant and contemporary food and beverage concepts. The partnership is expected to offer both hotel guests and Bengaluru residents a premium and culturally rich beverage experience.

The new outlet features a warm and modern ambience that blends seamlessly with Cafe G's setting. With multiple outlets operating in Bengaluru and Surat, the brand continues to expand its footprint across India.
