Mishthi Aggarwal founded 93 Degrees Coffee Roasters in early 2022 while earning her Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) in the field of Management.
She spoke with Forbes India about the unique path she took to launch her company.
Mishthi Aggarwal brews her masterclass with a volley of “hot” questions. What is the best temperature for brewing coffee? Do you know what happens when you add hot water to coffee grounds? Does the taste of the coffee change if you are using too hot or too cold water? An economics graduate from the University of Nottingham who also has a management degree from Harvard University under her belt, Aggarwal opens a small bag of green coffee beans and rolls them on a table.
“Do you know Karnataka accounts for close to 70 percent of the coffee produced in India?” the 27-year-old storyteller starts to engage the class with interesting coffee nuggets.
A small group of around a dozen students immerse themselves in an animated discussion. Some are studying in college and are brewing plans to start their food and beverage business, some are passionate cuppa lovers who are keen to know more about their beans, and there are a few who want to graduate from economy class to business class, which means they want to elevate their experience from consuming regular commercial coffee to the best version in the town.
